Exercise Science Curriculum Changes
EXERCISE SCIENCE CURRICULUM CHANGES
Exercise science has gotten approval for some curriculum changes moving forward that provide more flexibility for our students. An EXS advising document is attached – please take a close look. For rising seniors, based on what you have completed – you may choose to stay on the old catalog or switch to the new catalog. We’ll work with you to ensure we find the best option for you.
These changes have been approved and will be in the 2025-2026 JMU catalog. However, they are not reflected in the 2024-2025 JMU catalog – so you will not be able to see them online until this summer/fall.
Key changes:
