Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

Gettign into the Exercise Science program at GCSU is now a very simple process. It previously had an admission process, but now as long as you have the right prerequisites then you can enter into the program. Many of the programs on campus are like this, though some still require interviews and applications. These programs include Nursing and Athletic Training, though the latter is a simple application and interview with a majority of students gaining admission into the program.
