Freshman admission to the Exercise Physiology undergraduate major is a direct admit process through 向日葵视频 admissions website. We accept students as Exercise Physiology majors in their freshman year. If the student meets minimum standards (2.400 grade point average in their freshman year; and 2.600 as a sophomore through senior, based on a 4.000 system, and have completed all major course work with a grade of C or better), he/she is guaranteed to continue to senior year and a clinical placement.

Transfer students are welcome to apply. Transfer students are accepted into the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes as long as places are available and the transfer student has a minimum grade point average of 2.700 based on a 4.000 system. If you are considering transferring into the Exercise Physiology undergraduate major, you are strongly encouraged to enroll in BIOL 1001 (General Biology 1), CHEM 1001 (General Chemistry 1), CHEM 1002 (General Chemistry 2), and BISC 1035 (Principles of Human Anatomy).
