Dual Dominion Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science to Master of Science Program
Exercise Science students who meet all the following criteria may complete the Bachelor of Science to Master of Science Dual Dominion program application:
- Junior Standing
- Cumulative 3.20 or higher grade point average
- Completed preliminary coursework: EXSC 326 Exercise Physiology I and EXSC 322 Anatomical Kinesiology and Musculoskeletal Injuries
This program allows exceptional undergraduate students the opportunity to take up to 12 credit hours of graduate course work and apply them to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Students in the Dual Dominion program must earn a minimum of 150 credit hours (120 discrete credit hours for the undergraduate degree and 30 discrete credit hours for the graduate degree). This would allow the student to complete both degrees in approximately five years. Once accepted, students will be required to maintain a 3.0 GPA in all coursework. Consult with the undergraduate program director for more information on how to apply.
