The Exercise Science major consists of 73.5 credits and includes science-focused courses such as biology, chemistry, physics, and physiology. A highlight of this program is the Functional Human Anatomy Lab (01:377:224) which is one of the very few undergraduate programs in the country to use human cadavers. The Exercise Science major provides many prerequisite courses for graduate programs in allied health (e.g., physical and occupational therapy, medicine, athletic training, and nursing). Students must complete a 126-hour internship experience, which provides valuable clinical exposure, in their senior year (i.e., when 90 University credits are completed). Students in both the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) and the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) may declare Exercise Science as their major.

The Sport Management major consists of 69 credits and includes courses in marketing, finance, facility management, sport law, accounting, and economics. This includes courses offered through the Rutgers Business School. Students must complete a 252-hour internship experience, which provides hands-on learning and networking opportunities in their senior year (i.e., when 90 University credits are completed). Students in the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS) may declare the Sport Management major.

The Exercise Science and Sport Management majors are credit-intensive, so a minor is not required to graduate.

The Sport Management minor consists of 18 credits (12 credits of required course work and 6 credits of electives) and is designed to give students majoring in other disciplines an opportunity to learn about the business and administration of sport. This minor is available to all majors (including Exercise Science students).
