Assessment and Exercise Prescription, Nutrition, Strength and Conditioning, and internship.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall University Undergraduate Exercise Science students are well-prepared for certifications in exercise. Those certifications are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/certification.acsm.org\/\">American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u2013 \u00a0The ACSM offers certifications in the following areas: Certified Personal Trainer\u00ae (CPT),\u00a0Certified Health Fitness Specialist SM\u00a0(HFS), Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist (CES) and\u00a0Certified Group Exercise Instructor SM\u00a0(GEI).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsca.com\/CSCS_Certification_2\/\">National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u2013 The NSCA offers certifications for a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)<\/p>\n<p>In addition, students focus on one of two areas of emphases: Applied Exercise Physiology and Clinical Exercise Physiology. Applied Exercise Physiology Emphasis is for students who seek their careers as exercise and fitness specialists, while Clinical Exercise Physiology Emphasis is for students who seek postgraduate degrees in health and medical fields. Students and their advisors will select suitable courses for their own career goals.<\/p>\n<p>Prospective students must meet the minimum criteria listed below to be considered for admission to the program:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Admission to Marshall University<\/li>\n<li>Declared Exercise Science as a major, including preferred area of emphasis if applicable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-6 grid grid-cols-1 gap-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n    \n\n<a\n\thref=\"https:\/\/catalog.marshall.edu\/undergraduate\/programs-az\/health-professions\/health-movement-sciences\/exercise-science-bs\/\"\n\t\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\tclass=\"right-arrow arrow--green arrow--vertical\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t<span class=\"arrow-text\">Learn <span class=\"arrow-nowrap\">More<span class=\"arrow-wrapper\"><span class=\"arrow\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/a>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n        \n    \n<div\n    data-media-side=\"right\"\n    class=\"group first:pt-0 first:lg:py-16 pb-12 last:lg:pb-16 z-10 relative \"\n    style=\"z-index: 29;\"    id=\"grad\">\n    <div class=\"relative w-full mx-auto max-w-440 h-full first:mt-0 mt-8 lg:mt-16 last:mb-0 mb-8\">\n        <div class=\"relative lg:mb-16 grid grid-cols-1 lg:grid-cols-2 gap-8 lg:gap-12\">\n            <div class=\"relative flex items-start justify-center h-full lg:group-data-[media-side=right]:order-2 lg:group-data-[media-side=left]:order-1 px-6\">\n                                    <div class=\"relative w-full\">\n                                                    <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                src=\"https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/exercise-science\/files\/2025\/09\/DSC08270-Enhanced-NR-800x0-c-default.jpg\"\n                                srcset=\"\n                                    https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/exercise-science\/files\/2025\/09\/DSC08270-Enhanced-NR-480x0-c-default.jpg 480w,\n                                    https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/exercise-science\/files\/2025\/09\/DSC08270-Enhanced-NR-768x0-c-default.jpg 768w,\n                                    https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/exercise-science\/files\/2025\/09\/DSC08270-Enhanced-NR-1024x0-c-default.jpg 1024w,\n                                    https:\/\/www.marshall.edu\/exercise-science\/files\/2025\/09\/DSC08270-Enhanced-NR-1600x0-c-default.jpg 1600w\n                                \"\n                                sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw\"\n                                alt=\"professor teaching a class in the middle of an exercise science lab\"\n                                class=\"w-full h-auto object-contain\"\n                                style=\"object-position: 50% 50%;\"\n                            \/>\n                                                            <div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"absolute top-6 bottom-6 left-6 right-6 lg:top-8 lg:bottom-8 md:left-8 md:right-8 border border-green rounded-lg pointer-events-none\"><\/div>\n                                                                        <\/div>\n                \n                            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"relative order-1 lg:group-data-[media-side=right]:order-1 lg:group-data-[media-side=left]:order-2 lg:pt-0 lg:pb-0 flex flex-col justify-center px-6\">\n                \n                \t\t\t\t\t<h2  class=\"block__heading\">Master of Science in Exercise Physiology<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n                \n                <div class=\"alternator__content styled-list no-img text-gray-700\">\n                    <p>The Master of Science degree in Exercise Physiology is a broad based program designed to prepare individuals for careers as exercise specialists in the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hospital based preventive and rehabilitative programs for cardiac, pulmonary and diabetes patients<\/li>\n<li>Sport performance and enhancement programs for athletes of all sports at all levels<\/li>\n<li>Weight loss centers\/programs<\/li>\n<li>General and corporate wellness programs<\/li>\n<li>Strength coaching<\/li>\n<li>University\/industry research laboratories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, many graduates continue studies in professional programs in medicine, physical\/occupational therapy and physician assistants programs.<\/p>\n<p>At Marshall University, graduate students have the opportunity to be involved in applied and basic research using the most sophisticated equipment available for laboratory investigations in the field of exercise physiology.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>The MS in Health and Movement Sciences is recognized as a STEM-designated degree program by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
