Exercise Science program at Lyndon State College receives prestigious accreditation

What: LSC’s exercise science program was accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
Who: Exercise science program at Lyndon State College
Where: Lyndonville, Vermont
When: Exercise science programs will require CAAHEP accreditation in the very near future. Any person who wishes to take the national undergraduate certification exam in exercise science (American College of Sports Medicine Health Fitness Specialist) will need to be graduates of accredited programs such as CAAHEP and NSCA.
Why: Exercise science program has been National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Recognized since 2005. With both the CAAHEP accreditation and the NSCA, this makes LSC one of only five schools in the nation to be accredited with both. With this recent accreditation, the program will be able to offer even more. The application included a self-study, program organizational chart, faculty biographical sketches, an explanation of educational outcomes and other data.
President Carol A. Moore said in an email to the Lyndon community, “Congratulations to the Exercise Science faculty. Thank you for your commitment and dedication to offering the highest quality programming and for seeking to continually improve the Exercise Science program.”
