Note: Non Pre PT Exercise Physiology majors must take six credits of HHP 460 and have the option of taking HHP 495 in addition.
Exercise Physiology (PrePT majors) may take either HHP 460 or HHP 495, or may take both.
Electives:
- PSY 230 Lifespan Dev
- RSC 310 Culture in Rehabilitation
- RSC 307 Health Promotion in Rehabilitation
- HHP 408 Pharmacology & Ergogenic Aids
- BIO 425 Biochemistry
- PSY 425 Abnormal Psychology
Note: Itis highly recommended that all Ex Phys majors take as many 'science' courses as possible (i.e. CHEM 210/213, BIO 470, etc)
