Overview

Majors have the option to declare the Credentialing Concentration. The Exercise Science, Strength and Conditioning program of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is designed to provide students with the opportunity to pursue more extensive study in the exercise science context most relevant to their professional goals. Credentialing options include:

American College of Sports Medicine Exercise Physiologist - Certified Credentialing Exam

American College of Sports Medicine Clinical Exercise Physiologist - Certified Credentialing Exam

National Strength and Conditioning Association Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Credentialing Examination

Other approved credentialing exams

The Exercise Science, Strength and Conditioning concentration is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the Committee on Accreditation of the Exercise Science (CoAES).

Grade Requirements

All of the required courses for the Pre-Kinesiology major, Exercise Science major, and Credentialing concentration must be completed with a grade of C or above. Students may repeat each required Pre-Kinesiology or Exercise Science course (in which they earned a D, F, or W) only once, with a maximum of 2 total attempts. When a student earns a total of three grades of D, F, or W in any combination of required Pre-Kinesiology and/or Major Courses, the student cannot remain in the Exercise Science major and must change his/her major. Withdrawing from a course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt, as does receiving any letter grade. Students must receive a grade of C or above in all Foundation Courses in order to be deemed successful.
