The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) marketable skills initiative is part of the state’s 60x30TX plan and was designed to help students articulate their skills to employers. Marketable skills are those skills valued by employers and/or graduate programs that can be applied in a variety of work or education settings and may include interpersonal, cognitive, and applied skill areas.
The BS in Clinical Exercise Science is designed to provide graduates with the following marketable skills:
-
Technical equipment and testing skills and research in clinical exercise science.
- Exercise assessment and prescription and fitness program design and implementation.
- Critical thinking and decision making related to ethical and professional responsibilities in exercise science.
- Strategies for performance enhancement and prevention of injuries.
- Effective communication with a range of audiences in clinical exercise science settings.
