| Program Overview The Exercise Science Program at the graduate level has a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge base and is designed to enable practitioners to bridge the gap between theory, research, and practice. This program prepares masters level students to be exercise scientists for health/fitness clubs, corporate health promotion programs, and rehabilitation settings. The Ph.D. program prepares exercise science researchers, professors, and preventive and/or rehabilitative program directors. Our undergraduate and graduate programs in Exercise Science are the only ones offered in the state of New Mexico, offering a B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees with specialization in Exercise Science. We offer a diversity of courses in exercise science. The Exercise Science laboratories are well-equipped facilities and serve teaching, research and service functions for the university community and the community at-large. They include an exercise testing laboratory, body composition laboratory, and exercise biochemistry laboratory. These laboratories are fully equipped for metabolic testing, computerized muscular fitness assessment, pulmonary function testing, body composition and anthropometric assessment, and enzymatic assays of blood and muscle metabolistes. The Exercise Science program also has a fully-equipped hypobaric chamber for altitude research. Through collaborative arrangements with other research laboratories, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, magnetic resonance imaging, and NMR-specroscopy are available. Program Prerequisites Each Master's and Ph.D. degree student is required to satisfy all undergraduate prerequisite coursework and competencies prior to being accepted into the graduate degree programs in Exercise Science.
