GRADUATE PROGRAMS
 

The mission of the graduate program in Kinesiology is to provide students the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the theoretical basis of human movement.

Students are able to specialize in one of the subdisciplines within the kinesiological sciences; however, the graduate core curriculum gives students a cross-disciplinary exposure to the study of human movement. Along with classroom studies, involvement in original laboratory and field research constitutes a major means by which students gain a broad understanding of their specialty area. At the completion of the Master's degree students should be able to:

  1. design and conduct investigations to answer basic and applied research questions within the kinesiology subdisciplines; and
  2. integrate movement-based principles into a variety of activities taking place in laboratory, educational, clinical, and athletic settings.
