In this section you will find Curriculum Plans and 4-Year Sample Degree Plans for the Health Promotion, Nutrition and Exercise Science (HPNES) major, based on which General Education (GE) requirements you are completing. If you are unsure which GE requirements are applicable, check in with your EHE advisor via email or setting up an advising appointment.
4-Year Sample Degree Plans only provide an example of how courses fit – they are not set in stone. Degree plans look different for each student. This is simply a visual to help you see an example of how you can complete your requirements in four years.
