respiratory function, muscular strength and flexibility. These analyses
are also available for faculty, staff, and students who wish to assess
their personal health status. Computer assisted nutrition, stress
profiles and personal evaluations are also available in the HPL.
The nutrition program has access to a fully equipped food
science laboratory.
Recreational and fitness facilities include three gyms for court games;
three racquetball courts; a gymnastics area; an exercise area with
Nautilus strength training equipment, star climbers, elliptical machines
and treadmills for aerobic workouts; a free-weight area; an indoor
swimming pool; and men's and women's dressing rooms. Lighted
tennis courts are adjacent to the center and six bowling lanes are
located in the nearby McGlothlin Campus Center.
Undergraduate students at Abilene Christian University are required
to take 4 semester hours of exercise science (EXSC 100 and three
activity courses). Exercise and Sport Science majors must meet this
requirement by taking EXSC 121, 122, 244 and 245. Exercise Science
majors meet this requirement by taking EXSC 100, 206, 215 or EXSW
214 and one other activity. Transfers must take EXSC 100 at ACU if
they have not already completed four exercise science (physical
education) activity courses. Students seeking medical exemption must
do so through the department chair of the Department of Exercise
Science and Health. Most often, students seeking exemption are given
adaptive or modified physical activities rather than exemption. The
Department of Exercise Science and Health provides a well balanced
activity program with an emphasis on health and wellness.
Departmental objectives for each activity class include providing
activity for recreation (enjoyment), fitness and stress release, while
teaching knowledge and performance skills needed to maintain a
healthful, enjoyable lifestyle in the future.
A student may elect to take any exercise science activity class,
excluding EXSC 100, Concepts of Health Fitness, on a Pass/Fail basis.
Students must make this decision during the first two weeks of
class. The Pass/Fail form must be obtained in and returned to the
Registrar's Office. (Students should be aware that some graduate
schools will not accept Pass/Fail grades and/or will automatically
count them as a grade of "C." Some schools will not transfer
Pass/Fail grades.)
Study Abroad Expectations
All students are encouraged to participate in ACU's Study Abroad
program. Classes offered at Study Abroad sites vary depending on
the site. Academic advisors can assist students in planning ahead for
their Study Abroad experience and should be consulted during the
freshman year.
