Each of Millikin University’s Exercise Science & Sport majors lead to a Bachelor of Science Degree. The coursework for each major has been carefully developed to prepare graduates to work in fields related to exercise science and sports.

Currently, majors require 33 to 47 credits within the department. An emphasis in Sport Management may be earned in conjunction with the Fitness and Sport major. Millikin has plans to make Sport Management its own major in the near future.

The Exercise Science & Sport department also offers State of Illinois teaching endorsements in Health Education and Driver Education in conjunction with the Physical Education teacher certification major.
