BS Health Promotion (59.5-60 hours*)

This is a limited-enrollment program requiring departmental admissions approval. Please see the college advisement center for information regarding requirements for admission to this major.

This major is also offered through the Health Sciences Department.

The Discipline

Health promotion is a departure from the typical U.S. health paradigm in that the focus is on developing the processes of staying healthy rather than on discovering and treating illnesses. Rising health care costs have spurred an interest in keeping people healthy to avoid unnecessary health-related expenses. Health promotion professionals assist individuals and organizations in improving their health-related procedures and policies so that the goals and aspirations of both are more likely to be fulfilled.

Career Opportunities

Health promotion personnel find employment with many organizations committed to health enhancement: business, industry, health clinics and resorts, health maintenance organizations, hospitals, insurance companies, senior citizen groups, and voluntary organizations.

Major Requirements

  1. Maintain a high personal fitness level and follow healthy lifestyle habits.

  2. Be admitted to the program by the Interdisciplinary Health Promotion Committee. Admittance into the health promotion major requires the student to earn an average GPA of 3.0 in PE 297, Zool 261, and Stat 221.

BS Physical Education: Athletic Training Emphasis (73 hours*)

This is a limited-enrollment program requiring departmental admissions approval. Please see the college advisement center for information regarding requirements for admission to this major.

The Discipline

The study of athletic training appeals to those who would like to work in a field that combines an athletic setting with health and fitness care. A student in athletic training will learn to apply knowledge of human anatomy, exercise physiology, conditioning, nutrition, and therapy in the prevention, immediate care, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries.

Career Opportunities

Career possibilities include working with athletic teams at all levels of competition or in a sports medicine clinical setting or other allied health facilities. NATA certification is required, and an advanced degree is recommended.

Major Requirements

  1. Maintain a high personal fitness level and follow healthy lifestyle habits.

  2. No D credit is allowed in the major courses.

  3. A minimum of 33 hours in the major must be completed in residence at BYU.

  4. Apply for acceptance into the athletic training program. See program director during semester of enrollment in PE 320 for an application form. Admission to the program requires the candidate to meet the following criteria:

    • Complete Zool 260, 261, PE 320, 321.

    • Have a physical examination.

    • Submit two letters of recommendation.

    • Interview with the athletic training staff.

    PE 497R.

  10. Complete 8 hours of the following:
    PE 496R.

Recommended Course

PE 421.

*Hours include courses that may fulfill GE or university requirements.



BS Physical Education: Exercise Physiology Emphasis (72.5 hours*)

The Discipline

The exercise physiology/medicine emphasis explores the intriguing relationship between exercise and the functioning of the human body. The basic concepts of human anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, motor learning, chemistry, physics, and nutrition are mastered to help understand this relationship. The impact that movement and exercise have on the human organism is almost interminable, making study of this discipline enthralling.

Students considering medicine as a profession may want to select this major. While providing most requisite courses for medical school acceptance, it also conveys a healthy-lifestyle, preventive-medicine health care perspective.

Career Opportunities

Graduating with an exercise physiology/medicine specialization primarily prepares for work in entry-level positions at research institutions, in corporate wellness centers, in cardiac rehabilitation clinics, and with sports teams. Most vocational opportunities require a master's degree or doctorate and certification by organizations such as the American College of Sports Medicine. Positions requiring only a bachelor's degree will be difficult to find.

Major Requirements

  1. Maintain a high personal fitness level and follow healthy lifestyle habits.

  2. No D credit is allowed in the major courses.

  3. A minimum of 15 hours in the major must be completed in residence at BYU.

  4. Complete the following core courses:
    PE 350, 361, 362, 363, 367.

  5. Complete the following:
    PE 460, 469.
    Mcbio 221, 222.
    Zool 260, 371, 372, 460.
    Chem 105, 106, 107, 351, 352, 353 (1–2 hours).
    Phscs 105, 106, 107, 108.
    FSN 100.
    Stat 221.
    Biol 130.
    Math 119.

    Note: Students going to medical school should take 2 hours of Chem 353.

Premed students: Some medical schools require select classes not required by BYU. For more information contact the Health Professions Advisement Office, 380 WIDB, PO Box 25176, (801) 378-3044.

Recommended Courses

Zool 339 or 439 (premed); 361, 380.

*Hours include courses that may fulfill GE or university requirements.



BS Physical Education: Physical Therapy Emphasis (74 hours*)

The Discipline

Physical therapy is a dynamic profession for anyone interested in the health care field. To equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary for entry into a physical therapy school and then into the profession of physical therapy, BYU's physical therapy specialization emphasizes the intriguing subjects of exercise science (functional anatomy, patho-kinesiology, athletic injury, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and motor learning), as well as the traditional physical therapy requirements (zoology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and mathematics).

Career Opportunities

The undergraduate degree prepares specifically for entrance into physical therapy school. However, with the prephysical therapy undergraduate degree and a GPA of at least 3.0, entrance into most exercise science graduate programs is possible.

Major Requirements

  1. Maintain a high personal fitness level and follow healthy lifestyle habits.

  2. No D credit is allowed in the major courses.

  3. A minimum of 15 hours in the major must be completed in residence at BYU.

The Discipline

Students preparing to teach and/or coach physical education will have a variety of experiences that will enhance proficiency in the knowledge and skills requisite to working in the contemporary school setting. Majors learn to perform a variety of sport, fitness, and dance activities personally. After becoming proficient, students take courses and have practical experiences in teaching and coaching children, adolescents, and adults. The discipline is interesting and rewarding, and those in a teaching/coaching career help others pursue and practice healthy lifestyle habits.

Career Opportunities

Graduates seek teaching and physical education/coaching careers in secondary education settings. With an advanced degree, teaching and coaching positions at institutions of higher learning are available.

It is recommended that students desiring to be optimally employable in secondary schools complete an acceptable teaching minor and American Coaching Effectiveness Program (ACEP) coaching certification.
