(DRAFT) Exercise and Sport Science (BS)
What is Exercise and Sport Science?
Leap into an active and invigorating career with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sport Science from Wayne State University. You'll study human health and development in our science-based curriculum, and you'll apply that knowledge to sport, fitness, human movement systems, and other areas of kinesiology. The Sport and Exercise Science major readies you for graduate study and leads you to a rewarding career dedicated to improving human performance and wellness.
What can I do with an Exercise and Sport Science Degree?
Drive toward a hands-on, active career in exercise and sport science. The BS in Exercise and Sport Science program prepares you for graduate programs like physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (OT), physician assistant (PA), exercise physiology, and more. With a multi-dimensional understanding of human bodies and a deep commitment to wellness, you'll contribute to the health of individuals and communities in roles like: Corporate wellness coach, exercise physiologist, cardiac rehabilitation therapist, strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, and sports coach.

Notes
- You can review how all courses transfer using the course equivalency tool. For a self-service, customized WSU degree audit, please visit https://wayne.edu/transfer/tess
- Wayne State requires a minimum of 30 credits in residency.
- The pathway allows multiple associate degree options with the flexibility to customize your degree path. The minimum eligibility to participate in the Wayne State Transfer Pathways is a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or above, Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), and an associate degree (earned or Reverse Transfer). See transfer credit guidelines.
- All college-level (non-developmental), non-duplicated courses with a 2.0 (C) grade point average (GPA) or above will be considered for transfer credit. Earned credit will transfer as 1) direct course equivalency, 2) major/department credit, or 3) elective credit. Credits not earned at Washtenaw will need to be taken at WSU.
- These pathways do not replace the importance of Washtenaw and Wayne State academic advising. The pathway provides a general roadmap to degree completion.
