Strength and Conditioning (B.S. and MSES) | Dual-Degree 4+1

About the Program

SXU is proud to offer a B.S./M.S. in Exercise Science Dual-Degree 4+1 program. This program is designed for students who would like to take advantage of completing both an undergraduate and graduate degree in less time than it would take to complete the two degrees separately.

Currently enrolled students in their senior year at SXU can apply and begin their MSES in their final semester. Students have the opportunity to finish their MSES in 10.5 months. In total, the program provides students the opportunity to earn a B.S. and MSES in as little as five years with up to six (6) hours of graduate coursework being accepted as undergraduate coursework.

Concurrent coursework

Undergraduate

Student's with undergraduate majors in health care-related fields at SXU will be able to participate in the 4+1 option. Currently enrolled students in their senior year at SXU can apply and begin their MSES courses in their final semester. 

Graduate

Both the undergraduate and graduate courses are taught by content experts within the field of exercise science and strength and conditioning. This includes high-quality faculty who not only hold a terminal degree but also have been or are current practitioners. Having faculty who practice the craft provides value to students as they are being taught how to be content experts within the allied health field and in the concentration of strength and conditioning.

The Master of Science in Exercise Science courses that are considered the core are interdisciplinary based and focus on research methods, ethics, curriculum development, behavior psychology, information technology and culture, communication and ethics.
