BS in Exercise Physiology and Metabolism

<p>Hey y'all!</p>

<p>I found this really interesting major called Exercise Physiology and Metabolism.
There's one university called Washington State University, that offers it and I really think that this could be the major option for me.</p>

<p>What could be the starting salary for this major?
Could I possibly go to Med school with that major or get a Masters?
What do you think would be typical career options?</p>

<p>I think that type of major is offered at many schools. It goes by different titles at different schools, including Kinesiology, Health & Exercise Science, or sometimes, Integrative Physiology. I don’t know about starting salaries, but it probably depends on what you do with it. Yes, you can apply to medical school with that major if you complete the med school prerequisites (usually 2 semesters each of calculus, general chemistry, organic chem, general physics, plus, sometimes, additional bio or other courses depending on the particular med school.). You should check out whether med schools accept anatomy and physiology courses under that major as equivalent to courses with similar titles in a biology dept. You also can get a masters, or even a PhD, in that field. Typical career options vary, but many grads would as athletic trainers, personal trainers, coaches, etc. Many students also use it as a pre-physical therapy major.</p>

<p>as zapfino has stated, i think the same major goes by different names. look into university of nebraska- i hear they have a good program in that. but im pretty sure ive seen this major in most universities.</p>
