Department Overview

The Department of Exercise & Sport Studies offers a program of basic instruction consisting of 1/2 unit courses and an Exercise & Sport Studies minor with emphases in athletic coaching, fitness instruction, exercise and health science, and sport management.

Basic instruction (“1-” Exercise & Sport Studies courses) is offered at the elementary, intermediate and advanced levels. Courses range in scope from a fitness related emphasis–aerobics, jogging, swimming and weight training–to individual and team sports such as basketball, golf, tennis and volleyball. Courses in the “1-” series with the “Intercollegiate” designation in the title may be repeated up to 12 times for a total of 6 units. No more than 6 units of “1-” courses may be counted toward degree requirements.

A physical examination performed by a private physician is recommended for any student intending to enroll in Exercise & Sport Studies courses.

Fines are imposed by the department for failure to return equipment or clothing on or before the date posted for such return at the end of each quarter, and for failure to close out lockers at the end of each quarter.

The minor in Exercise & Sport Studies features four individual program tracks each consisting of a varying amount of upper-division coursework. The program prepares students for advanced studies in related disciplines as well as career opportunities in the expanding fields of athletic coaching, exercise and health science, fitness instruction and sport management.

Students interested in a Exercise & Sport Studies minor should consult the appropriate advisor by contacting the Exercise & Sport Studies Department Office.
