GSW School of Health Sciences adds exercise science programs
May 31—AMERICUS — Georgia Southwestern State University's School of Health Sciences will offer two new stand-alone exercise science programs beginning in fall 2023, in addition to the existing bachelor's degree in exercise science, based on feedback from the regional work force in the health sciences field.
The Exercise Physiology Endorsement, a 9-credit-hour program, is designed to encourage a deeper understanding of exercise physiology, including both the fundamentals of the science and the application to various healthy and clinical populations.
