Required Supporting Courses

Support courses are those courses from outside the department that fulfill foundational knowledge requirements (prerequisites) for students in Exercise Science.

• BIOL 223/223L: Human Anatomy and Human Anatomy Lab

• BIOL 224/224L: Human Physiology and Human Physiology Lab

• PSYC 200: General Psychology

BIOL 223 and BIOL 224 (Anatomy and Physiology) are prerequisites for EXSC 201 (Functional Anatomy) and EXSC 202 (Exercise Physiology). Students are advised to take Anatomy and Physiology as early as possible in their course sequence.
