    You can explore the website, which further outlines the degree options here https://hhp.ecu.edu/kine/.

    • BS in Exercise Physiology (two concentrations: Applied Exercise Physiology and Pre-Health). This degree is a common pathway for undergraduates who wish to pursue careers in allied health care professions for graduate school.

    • BS in Physical Education and Coaching Sciences: The PE track leads to licensure, while the coaching sciences track is new and includes coaching and officiating.

    • BS in Sports Performance Science (new in fall 2025!): This degree program will prepare students to work in the broad field of sport science.  Any Health Sciences Academy student who doesn't want to work specifically in healthcare but loves the STEM fields may be attracted to this degree program.  

    • Minor in Strength and Conditioning: This minor is attractive to students as it prepares them to sit for the national certification exam in strength and conditioning.
