Course Rotation

ESS Graduate Course Rotation

Students pursuing graduate degrees in the Exercise Science should plan completing the degree in four long academic semesters (i.e., 2 fall semesters and 2 spring semesters). Course offerings in the summer are limited and not guaranteed. Substitutions to degree plans will not be made for students attempting to complete their degrees during summer school.
