Program in Fitness Management (HSFM)

Professor Joe F. Smith, Contact Person
Office: 101 Moore Hall

This program requires the completion of a minimum of 120 semester hours as specified below and leads to the bachelor of science in education degree. This program does not lead to professional certification as a teacher. Each prospective fitness management student must submit an application that demonstrates that all criteria for admission have been met. A student is eligible for admission if he or she (a) has completed at least 45 hours (including BSC 215 or BSC 216) and (b) has at least a 2.0 on all coursework attempted.

The undergraduate catalog is published at two-year intervals. Program advising sheets are updated much more frequently and are thus likely to provide the most up-to-date information on degree and other requirements. Students should always obtain the most recent advising sheets, available from academic advisers and in 104 Carmichael Hall.
