Description
Through coursework and active engagement in research, the masters in kinesiology offers students the opportunity to study the neuromuscular, metabolic, biomechanical, biochemical, pharmacologic, physiologic, and behavioral components of human movement. Graduates have the opportunity to apply expertise in health related fitness, biomechanics, and exercise physiology within medical, industrial, and educational settings. The MS in Kinesiology will expose students to leading edge technology that they can use to creatively design research projects, develop exercise prescriptions for general health and wellness, and to improve fitness and performance in a variety of populations.
The MS in Kinesiology offers two tracks, coaching/teaching or exercise science/wellness. The coaching/teaching track meets the needs of teachers and coaches and designed to serve secondary school teachers who desire to earn ACT 48 credits and earn an MS along the way (whether PE teachers or otherwise). The exercise science/wellness track responds to the science oriented teachers or health professionals who may be interested in athletic training, coaching, continued graduate study in exercise science or sports medicine. Students in either track can select a thesis or non-thesis option. The thesis option is available for students interested in conducting original research and may have interest in further graduate studies. The non-thesis option is available for students more interested in clinical application of health, fitness, and exercise techniques.
