(130 semester hours) Requirements are subject to change. [also see Biology Major]
This preprofessional program educates students in sports biology and prepares
them for acceptance to health professions and graduate schools, as well as leadership
roles in new careers in sports science and sports medicine. The program represents
an expansion of the science program, which has a history of successfully placing
students in health professions and graduate schools. In view of the reputation
of the College in sports and the success the preprofessional science program has
enjoyed, the program—which combines sports and sciences—is uniquely suited to
Springfield College. It is particularly tailored for students who are strong in
the sciences and are inerested in sports.
The early curriculum gives students a grounding in the basic sciences as well
as an opportunity to interact with working professionals to help students define
their career objectives. Students then go on to take advanced courses in science
and movement. In addition to academic work, students have the opportunity to
participate in a research and/or shadowing program to provide hands-on real world
experiences.
