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