This program prepares students at Salt Lake Community College who are interested in Exercise Science / Kinesiology professions and Bachelor degree options. Exercise Science is the study of the systems that allow physical activity and the acute and chronic responses to that physical activity. The breadth and depth of exercise physiology are rapidly expanding and include responses of novices through elite athletes as well as pathophysiology, genetics, and some aspects of virtually every organ system (Simonson, Shawn, (2015) Establishing Common Course Objectives for Undergraduate Exercise Physiology, Adv. Physiology Edu 39: 295-308).

Upon finishing the requirements for an AS degree in Exercise Science / Kinesiology and after acceptance into a major program, a student should be able to obtain a bachelor’s degree at a four-year institution with two additional years of study.
