INTRODUCTION "Exercise Science” is the study of the acute and chronic effects of exercise with regard to: beneficial health effects, developing fitness, rehabilitation from various disease states, training for competitive athletics, or injuries due to exercise or athletics. Professionals involved in Exercise Science include: exercise physiologists, physicians, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and persons from various allied health fields such as cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation, personal training, and fitness instruction. “Sport Studies” encompasses more directly applied facets of competitive athletics or organized sports, including the managerial or administrative aspects. Professionals associated with Sport Studies include: sport administrators, sport psychologists, sport nutritionists, coaches, sport attorneys, risk management experts, sports marketers, and managers of athletic and arena facilities. Clearly, the two areas of Exercise Science and Sport Studies are closely related; persons such as sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, and sport physical therapists function in various roles across the two areas.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW The Department of Exercise Science & Sport Studies is an undergraduate program serving more than 1,000 students who are working towards a Bachelor of Science degree in three distinct programs: two health-science options (Applied Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology) and a business-oriented option (Sport Management). The two health science options are laboratory based sciences providing students with a strong background in human anatomy and physiology. After two years of basic math and science (biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, statistics, computer science), upper level students study human physiology as it relates to exercise and physical activity via such courses as systems physiology, exercise physiology, kinesiology, motor learning and movement experiences for disabled populations. Upon completion of the two undergraduate science programs, students are qualified for graduate programs in medicine, exercise physiology, physical and occupational therapy, cardiac rehabilitation, corporate fitness, athletic training, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, as well as most other health related professions. The two science programs have approximately 600 students of whom approximately 20% classify themselves as pre-med, approximately 50% who are pre-PT or pre-OT, with the remainder equally distributed across the fields of exercise physiology, cardiac rehab, corporate fitness, nursing and physician assistant. All science-oriented students begin the major in Applied Kinesiology. Upon attaining a 2.85 GPA based on at least 12 credits of sciences within the major, students may apply for Exercise Physiology where the primary interest of students involves research. Sport Management provides students with an extensive background in business and management, beginning with the basic courses in economics, accounting, marketing and 1
communications. Upper level students study the application of these basic business principles to a wide variety of sport settings via courses such as sport and law, risk management, organizational behavior in sport, sport sociology, sport psychology, sport marketing and management. Upon graduation, they enter careers in sport administration, sport marketing, facilities management, and commercial sport. The Sport Management program currently serves approximately 400 undergraduates. The department also sponsors two outreach programs: the Youth Sports Research Council and the Center for Exercise and Aging. The Sports Council provides adults who work with children in organized competitive sports programs with information about child development issues. Since 1983, the Sports Council has trained more than 250,000 volunteer youth sport coaches in New Jersey alone. The Center for Exercise and Aging provides information regarding exercise and aging to undergraduates, the general public and administrators of programs serving the needs of the elderly.
FACULTY The department faculty members represent a broad variety of specialties including: exercise physiology, environmental physiology, anatomy, sport psychology, motor learning, adaptive physical education, legal aspects of sport and sports management. In addition, because of Rutgers’ geographical location, there is access to a large number of professionals, such as sports medicine physicians, athletic trainers, coaches, and physical therapists, whose specialties are relevant to exercise science and sport studies. Each semester, individuals with highly respected credentials and expertise are recruited from outside the university to teach various specialized courses for this program and/or to act as supervisors for students’ senior year internships. Faculty members are involved with research and scholarly activities within their own area of specialization. This affords many of our majors the unique opportunity to do independent study or research under a faculty mentor.
2
PROGRAM OPTIONS Within the Exercise Science and Sport Studies major, there are three distinct options for students. All students earn the same degree, B.S. in Exercise Science & Sport Studies. The three options offered are: APPLIED KINESIOLOGY The Applied Kinesiology Option provides the student with a strong science foundation focusing on human anatomy and physiology, with an emphasis on preparation for further specialized graduate study or direct entrance into the job market. All science students begin the major in this option. EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY The Exercise Physiology Option also provides students with a strong science foundation emphasizing preparation for further specialized graduate study or direct entrance into a variety of fields related to exercise physiology, biomechanics, sport medicine and direct entrance to upper level certifications in the rehabilitation and fitness industries. SPORT MANAGEMENT The Sport Management Option is designed to meet the growing interest in the business, administration, marketing, and management of sport programs and facilities. Graduates may choose to pursue advanced degrees in such topics as administration, marketing, law, and management.
3
DEGREE/MAJOR/CURRICULUM The Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies is housed administratively within the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) in New Brunswick, NJ, and is accepted as an approved major in the School of Environmental Sciences (SEBS). Students from other schools within Rutgers can major in Exercise Science and Sport Studies if approved by their school’s deans. Upon completion of the degree requirements, all students are awarded a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in: EXERCISE SCIENCE AND SPORT STUDIES Students in Exercise Science and Sport Studies can follow one of two science options or a business option. The two science options are Applied Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology. The business option is Sport Management. The two science options can best be described as a rigorous, laboratory based science and math curricula in which students take courses in the basic sciences such as biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, anatomy and physiology, in addition to the various specialized courses pertaining to each specific option. Sport Management students take courses related to understanding sport in areas such as sport psychology, sport marketing, sport law and sport management. In addition, this option requires students to take a strong core of courses in psychology, sociology, economics, accounting, and communications. A complete description of the specific courses required for each option can be found on the pages that follow. It is the responsibility of the student to meet the requirements of both their academic major and the school in which they are enrolled. This program only advises students and certifies that they have completed the requirements for the "academic major." (The exception is that all SEBS students have access to a “SEBS Advisor” within the Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies.) It is the responsibility of the individual schools to advise students on "school" requirements, and to certify that students have fulfilled the "school" requirements for graduation.
4
ENTRY INTO EXERCISE SCIENCE AND SPORT STUDIES Entrance into the Exercise Science and Sport Studies major for the two science options is through the Applied Kinesiology Option. Students enter the Sport Management Option directly. Students must have a minimum 2.0 overall GPA and a grade of “C” or better in three specific courses in their option: For both science options:
General Biology (01:119:115 or 01:119:101) General Biology (01:119:116 or 01:119:102) Basic Statistics for Exercise Science (01:377:275)
For Sport Management option: Sport and the Law (01:377:203) Risk Management in Sport Administration (01:377:204) Basic Statistics for Exercise Science (01:377:275) Students who earn a “D” or “F” in one of the three required courses may elect to take the course again. If, on the second attempt, they fail to achieve the required “C” or better, they will no longer be allowed to pursue acceptance into the major. Transfer students with no more than 1 full semester at Rutgers may be permitted to declare the major if they have completed 2 of the required courses and are currently enrolled in the third required course. They must meet with an Exercise Science and Sport Studies adviser to determine eligibility to declare. In addition, all students must receive approval to declare the major from the undergraduate program director at an orientation session. After declaring the major, students in the Applied Kinesiology Option may apply for the Exercise Physiology Option if they have completed a minimum of 12 credits of the major requirements and have a major GPA of at least 2.85 with 89 credits or less overall (i.e., junior status or less) or a 3.00 major GPA after completing 90 credits or more overall (the definition of a senior). Should students in Exercise Physiology fall below the minimum GPA, they will automatically be reclassified into the Applied Kinesiology Option. Multiple orientations for declaring the major will be scheduled throughout the month of October prior to the November pre-registration, and then again in February prior to the March/April pre-registration in the Spring. Students must register for one of these orientations in person at the Exercise Science Office. The purpose of these group orientations is several-fold. First, the appropriateness of this major for students’ self-described career goals will be evaluated. Second, students will be assigned a departmental academic advisor. Third, each student will begin the preparation of an individualized curriculum program (i.e., a semester-by-semester sequence of courses) which will subsequently be taken to their academic advisor for approval. Fourth, a departmental student file will be initiated containing the individual student’s personal contact information and their selected option within the major. Fifth, the student’s declaration of major will be approved by the undergraduate program
5
director so that students can sign up for Majors Only classes during the pre-registration period.
DEPARTMENTAL ADVISING SYSTEM All majors are assigned an academic advisor at the time they are admitted into the program. A major function of the advisor is to work with the student in designing their curriculum, so they not only complete the requirements of the program but also maximize the worth of their undergraduate education. A major purpose of the academic advising is to assist students with their intended career directions. A student's academic advisor within the department is responsible for certifying only that the student has met all of the academic major requirements. Departmental academic advisors are not familiar with, nor do they advise students on their respective "school" graduation requirements. (The exception is that all SEBS students have access to a “SEBS Advisor” within the Department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies.) All departmental advisors are readily accessible to students during posted office hours (see the department website under the Advising tab) and/or by pre-arranged appointments.
TRANSFER CREDIT FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS The major features of the transfer credit policy are that: a. the course must be equivalent in content and credit to a course at Rutgers b. a grade of "C" or better must be obtained c. transfer credit course grades are not used to compute a student's cumulative or major grade point average Course "equivalency" is usually determined after admission to Rutgers. Students from community colleges in New Jersey can determine which courses transfer to Rutgers University, prior to admission, by referring to the website www.NJTransfer.org. For majors in Exercise Science and Sport Studies, this department will evaluate and approve only "377" courses. We do not evaluate transfer courses in the areas of biology, math, business, etc. Those evaluations must be done by the departments offering those courses. Students wishing to take courses at other colleges or universities over the summer should check with the appropriate department to determine if a course is equivalent, and their respective college (SAS or SEBS) for pre-approval and to ensure the credit is transferable, before it is taken. In addition, it is advisable to verify the acceptance of all transfer courses with your dean’s office. Students should consult the university catalog for the general policy and regulations within their specific school pertaining to transfer credit for courses taken elsewhere.
6
INTERNSHIPS All students majoring in the Exercise Science and Sport Studies major must complete an internship during their senior year. Internships are designed as an apprentice-like experience during which students have the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills developed in the classroom in various professional settings. To qualify for their senior internship, students must satisfy the following criteria: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Complete a minimum of 90 credits, with a minimum of 20 credits in the major. Overall GPA must be at least 2.0. Major GPA must be at least 2.0. Meet all deadlines for submission of application, agreements and evaluations
A mandatory orientation meeting is held every semester (the first Wednesday of October and the first Wednesday of February) for students planning to do an internship for the next semester. After that meeting, students are given access to a sakai site with information outlining the procedures that must be followed to design and complete an internship. The internship may be undertaken during either academic semester or during the summer. The department Internship Program Director will evaluate all the necessary paperwork connected with the internship, provide appropriate program information to the intern and supervisor, and assign the final evaluation. Look for postings on the department bulletin board and website for the exact date, time and location of the mandatory orientation meeting.
DIRECTORY OF INTERNSHIP SITES Majors are free to identify and select an internship site of their choice. To assist students in their selection after they have been notified that they have permission, a database listing of over 100 internship sites has been assembled. This database lists various sites which either have had Rutgers Exercise Science and Sport Studies interns before and/or have expressed an interest in supporting internships. This list is available on the department’s website located at http://www.exsci.rutgers.edu/undergraduate/internships.
7
DEPARTMENTAL HONORS There are 3 categories of honors in Exercise Science: Honors, High Honors and Highest Honors. The criteria for Honors include both academic performance as evidenced by the student’s major GPA within their chosen option and a research component fulfilled via the department’s Honors Research Program which includes the following two courses: Course Number Course Name 01:377:480 Honors Research Seminar 01:377:481 Honors Research in Exercise Science
Suggested Credits Semester 3 Spring of Junior Year 3 Fall of Senior Year
HONORS CRITERIA Honors

High Honors
EITHER a 3.800 Major GPA OR a 3.600 Major GPA + Honors Research Seminar + Honors Research
Highest Honors
3.800 Major GPA + Honors Research Seminar + Honors Research
HONORS RESEARCH PROGRAM To qualify for the Departmental Honors Research Program, a student must have attained, by the end of the first term of their junior year, a cumulative overall grade-point average of at least 3.40 and a grade-point average of at least 3.40 in courses in the option they have selected within the major. By the end of the first term of the junior year, the student must formally apply to the director of the Honors Research Program for admittance to the Honors Research Program. Accepted candidates must complete the Honors Research Seminar (01:377:480) during the spring term of their junior year when, under the guidance of the seminar instructor, an honors research project is designed and developed. During the fall term of their senior year, each student approved by the instructor must register for 01:377:481, Honors Research in Exercise Science, be assigned to an individual faculty member, and carry out the research project originally designed in the Honors Research Seminar. Both terms must be successfully completed and the minimum honors grade-point average must be maintained for a student to receive departmental honors recognition.

ESSS MAJORS CLUB The purpose of the club is to create a student support system open to all students majoring in or intending to major in Exercise Science and Sport Studies, informing them of the options within the field of Exercise Science and Sport Management through peer mentoring, professional networking and various educational opportunities. For a current club contact person, please call the departmental main office at 848-932-9525.
ATHLETIC TRAINING Athletic Training is a rapidly growing and challenging profession. Employment potential for athletic trainers is widespread, both at the high school and college levels. Rutgers does not have a formal program or an academic major in athletic training. Students interested in athletic training should contact Mr. Mike Pawlusiak, Athletic Trainer, at the Hale Center on the Busch Campus (732-445-8420) early in their undergraduate education. A limited number of opportunities for assistants/interns to the athletic training professional staff are available.
HEALTH PROFESSIONS OFFICE Students planning on attending a biomedical graduate program (e.g., pre-med, prephysician assistant, pre-dental, pre-vet) are strongly urged to contact the Health Professions Advising Office. Unfortunately, however, this office does not provide support for pre-PT or pre-OT students. This office provides students with crucial information concerning graduate admissions, schedules for appropriate standardized tests, keeps confidential files for letters of recommendation and generally assists students in the transition from undergraduate to graduate school. The office is located at: Nelson Biology Laboratories, Room A-207, Busch Campus, Piscataway, NJ 08854-8082; Dr. Bruce Babiarz, Director; e-mail:

PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS The program strongly encourages its majors to become active in one or more of the professional organizations appropriate for their career direction. Activity within a professional organization, (e.g. attending its meetings, participating in seminars sponsored by professional groups) can be extremely beneficial in terms of expanding one's knowledge, meeting professionals from outside of Rutgers, and learning of job/graduate school opportunities. Below is a list of various organizations and the contact person/number. Most groups, but not all, have a "student membership" category which means that a student can derive the benefits from belonging to an appropriate professional organization at a relatively low or nominal membership cost.
