B.S. in Kinesiology – Exercise Science
Overview
The B.S. in Exercise Science provides a strong foundation for students who want to pursue careers or graduate and professional degrees in a wide range of health careers. All students entering in Fall 2025 or later will follow our new streamlined Single Track curriculum. This track gives students the ability to choose courses from the professional content areas of both of our previous tracks (Applied and Pre-Professional). Students who were using the Applied or Pre-Professional tracks prior to Fall 2025 can still follow these tracks, but new students entering URI as of Fall 2025 must follow the Single Track curriculum.
