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.

Greetings, HSA Families! 

We are excited to open registration for the Marine Science Day Field Trip to HSA students in grades 9-12 for the 2025-2026 school year. This exciting opportunity will allow students to visit the MarineQuest Lab: Center for Marine Science in Wilmington, NC. Students who attend will have the opportunity to engage in two hands-on marine science studies, speak with a professional panel, and tour the research pier. Students who are interested in a career in Marine Biology are strongly encouraged to attend.

This program will take place on Thursday, December 4th, 2025. The cost is $50 per student. This cost covers the program fee, lunch, and transportation. Once students have confirmed their spot, they will receive information on how to pay online for this program.

Arrival is by 6:45 am, and pick-up time is 5:15 pm. This is an excused educational absence for PCS; however, students are responsible for communicating with their teachers regarding their absence and missed work.
