Course Information

The 100% online BS Program in Fitness and Wellness is designed for individuals who want a degree in fitness & wellness, but cannot attend traditional on-campus classes.  Many of our students are working professionals, with many already working in the fitness industry.  We also have students who have just graduated from high school and other professionals such as military personnel, educators, and others.

A minimum of one student cohort per year is accepted with approximately 35-40 students in each cohort.  The cohort begins twice yearly in the late summer and in January.

The course sequence is designed so that it does not overwhelm our busy students.  Students will not be required to take more than two courses at once (six credits each term), allowing students to focus time and energy on successful completion of each course.  Fall and Spring semesters include two eight week terms each.  The summer includes two five week terms.

Transfer credits are accepted, so students who have previous college coursework will be able to apply appropriate credits towards their CalU degree.  For students who do not have any college credits, all 120 credits of the program will be available in a 100% online format via the Internet.
