Each Exercise Science student is charged a program fee for each semester. The program fee is used to provide instructional supplies, discipline specific technology, guest speaker honoraria, educational opportunities outside of the classroom and miscellaneous materials/supplies needed to maximize student learning.

In addition to this fee and other college fees, students enrolled in the Exercise Science Program may incur additional expenses. These expenses include, but are not limited to:

Certification Exam cost - Students enrolled in the Exercise Science Program are required to sit for one of the following National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) certification exams during their tenure at Lasell as part of their degree requirements. Costs vary depending on the exam selected. Proof of the attempt must be provided to the Program Director along with the outcome of the exam.

NOTE: All of the above exams require candidates to hold a current CPR and AED certification.

*The program receives a special discounted rate on the ACSM EP-C and NSCA CSCS exams. Please see the Program Director for the voucher code.

+ The ACSM EP-C, NSCA CSCS, and NASM CES require completion of a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science, Exercise Physiology, Kinesiology or a closely related field from a regionally accredited college or university. Students are eligible to sit for the exam in the last term of their degree program.

CPR Certification - Students obtain their Adult CPR/AED Certification before they begin their internships. Students are expected to renew their certification after the 2-year expiration in order to participate in internships as well as to remain eligible for certification exams.
