During the first two years (freshman and sophomore), students take courses in the areas of English, mathematics, history, and social, physical, and biological sciences. During the last two years (junior and senior), students will take courses predominately in the area of exercise science (e.g. kinesiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology, etc.). During the last two years, students will be involved in many laboratory-related classes (e.g. exercise prescription, instrumentation, and practicum I). Additionally, students will be required to complete a supervised internship (e.g. Internship II &amp; III) at a site external, typically, to Southern Arkansas University (e.g. wellness clinic, sports performance center, exercise testing laboratory, or cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation program). Career Opportunities Students with a B.S. in Exercise Science work in a variety of settings\/careers such as being a personal trainer with a fitness facility, working with athletes in sports programs, performing physical assessments for employment\/disability, and working in cardiac or pulmonary rehabilitation programs. A B.S. in Exercise Science is also a good choice for preparation (background) for professional and graduate programs (Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Exercise Physiology, etc.). However, many of these programs may require additional coursework (e.g. advanced physics, anatomy\/physiology, chemistry, etc.) not covered within this program. For additional career opportunities\/exploration you are encouraged to visit the\u00a0American College of Sports Medicine\u2019s\u00a0website. Educational Opportunities In addition to coursework, students in all HPSS programs, including exercise science, are encouraged to assist with community activities such as the Special Olympics, fishing derbies, departmental programs, and area school programs.\u00a0 The coeducational environment at SAU allows students to experience a variety of activities and sports that will be helpful in identifying their career goals and philosophy. The Department of HPSS offers its majors opportunities to be involved in exercise and fitness testing, wellness programs, activities, and lifetime sports. Facilities The facilities of the Department of Human Performance and Sport Sciences are among the finest in the region. The W.T. Watson Sports Complex was completed in 1998. This facility houses a fully-equipped wellness and fitness center, classrooms, two gymnasiums, an athletic training room, and an exercise science laboratory; also known as the Kinesiology Laboratory. Kinesiology Laboratory The Kinesiology Laboratory is equipped with a 12-lead EKG system, mechanically-braked cycle ergometers, programmable treadmills, and a variety of other equipment used in physical fitness assessments (blood pressure, strength, endurance, flexibility, body composition, etc). The laboratory is also equipped with a variety of analyzers used for measuring blood values (lactic acid, lipid profiles, glucose, etc.). Using this equipment students learn to perform tests such as VO2max, Wingate Anaerobic, repetition maximum testing, body composition assessment, flexibility, and a variety of exercise-related physiological assessments. Students may also choose to be involved in ongoing exercise-related research projects conducted within the exercise science program.

SAU also offers degrees in math, English, social studies, chemistry, and foreign language for those seeking secondary licensure. The middle school and secondary education tracks allow candidates to focus on specific content areas of most significant interest. Additionally, for those who choose the middle school pathway upon degree completion and standard licensure, completers may seek to add secondary licensure to their current license by passing a content exam in an area of choice. Then after passing the test, the completer can add that content area to their standard license. The Middle and Secondary programs of study are approved by the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and meet Arkansas academic requirements for licensure. Middle and Secondary content areas are critical shortage areas in Arkansas, and employment opportunities are high. Most courses in these programs are taught in a traditional face-to-face classroom setting on the SAU campus, but several hybrid and online course offerings are provided within the programs. The hybrid and online course offerings help candidates create a more flexible schedule conducive to preparing a personalized plan that meets individual needs. Middle and Secondary Education majors may add a select group of courses to their degree plan and receive a coaching endorsement for those interested in coaching. Upon completing the degree program, coaching endorsement coursework, and licensure exams, completers can obtain a teaching license in a highly desired content area and credentials for coaching. Program Expectations Pre-candidates must meet the requirements for admission into the Teacher Education Program before advancing in the core and upper-level education coursework. Many unique field experiences are incorporated into courses to enable candidates to work with teacher mentors in public schools. Organized campus-based experiences allow candidates to practice their teaching skillsets. Candidates must meet unconditional admissions requirements to enroll in their final semester of student teaching.

It offers numerous benefits and advantages in today\u2019s world. Students who complete the minor will be able to: Understand the interdisciplinary nature of sustainability and how it relates to their field of interest. Communicate the implications of sustainability in environmental, social, and governance issues for organizations, communities, and people. Recognize sustainability issues from diverse perspectives. Generate and implement strategies to tackle sustainability problems. Benefits and Advantages Addressing global challenges: Sustainability encompasses environmental, social, and economic aspects, preparing students to tackle pressing global issues such as climate change, resource depletion, and social inequality. It equips students with knowledge and skills to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future. Career opportunities: Sustainability has become a critical consideration for organizations across industries. Students can enhance their employability and gain a competitive edge in the job market. They can pursue careers in sustainable business, renewable energy, environmental consulting, sustainable design, policy and advocacy, and more. Interdisciplinary learning: Sustainability is inherently interdisciplinary, integrating concepts from various fields such as environmental science, economics, social sciences, and engineering. Study in this area involves critical thinking, systems thinking, and problem-solving skills that can be applied across disciplines. Ethical and responsible decision-making: Sustainability education encourages students to think critically about the environmental and social impacts of their decisions. It promotes ethical considerations and encourages responsible behavior, both as individuals and professionals. This mindset is valuable in any career path and in making informed choices as global citizens. Personal growth and well-being: Studying sustainability often leads to deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of natural systems and human societies. This knowledge can enrich personal lives, cultivate a sense of environmental stewardship, and contribute to personal well-being. It empowers individuals to make positive changes in their own lives and inspire others to do the same. Minoring in sustainability equips students with the knowledge, skills, and perspectives necessary to address global challenges, opens up diverse career opportunities, fosters interdisciplinary learning, promotes ethical decision-making, and enhances personal growth and well-being. The annual sustainability conference, SOAR, is a way for students to learn about current issues in sustainability and present research.\">\n                                                            <a class=\"prog-row-thumb\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saumag.edu\/academics\/program\/minor-in-sustainability\/\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saumag.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/33\/files\/2023\/10\/3D4_3AB_5881567_1777938226_6-540x340.jpg\" class=\"attachment-portfolio size-portfolio wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 104px, 175px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saumag.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/33\/files\/2023\/10\/3D4_3AB_5881567_1777938226_6-540x340.jpg 540w, https:\/\/www.saumag.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/33\/files\/2023\/10\/3D4_3AB_5881567_1777938226_6-320x200.jpg 320w\" \/>                    <\/a>\n                                        <div class=\"prog-row-body\">\n                    <div class=\"prog-row-head\">\n                        <a class=\"prog-row-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.saumag.edu\/academics\/program\/minor-in-sustainability\/\">\n                            <span class=\"prog-title\">Minor in Sustainability<\/span>\n                        <\/a>\n                                                    <span class=\"prog-badge minor\">Minor<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                                                            <div class=\"prog-row-meta\">\n                                                                                                    <span class=\"prog-meta\"><span class=\"prog-meta-label\">Hours:<\/span> 15<\/span>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                <p class=\"prog-row-excerpt\">This interdisciplinary minor at SAU is designed to approach sustainability by integrating topics from different fields.
