Exercise Science BS - Applied Exercise Physiology Concentration - Academic Experience

Students in the School of Public Health and Health Professions have numerous opportunities to engage in research, experiential learning programs, student clubs and organizations, and extracurricular activities to complement and enhance their educational experience.

Practicums and independent studies are highly recommended and internships are required. Students must complete all the coursework, including electives and UB Curriculum requirements, prior to the internship. Independent studies, practicums, and internships enable students to concentrate in a specific area of interest, to work alongside faculty on research projects, and to gain valuable work experience. Many students find employment as a direct result of the internship experience.

Students are encouraged to participate in the university’s study abroad programs.
