Kinesiology: Comprehensive

In addition to coursework, our program provides students with the opportunity to gain valuable and relevant research experience focused on topics such as obesity, diabetes, mechanisms of joint injury, movement-based rehabilitation, and learning and adaptation of motor behavior across the lifespan. The strength of this program is its flexibility; working directly with faculty advisors, students can design programs to meet their particular interests.
We offer two Masters of Science Degree tracks:

The Comprehensive Track of this degree program is the non-thesis option;

The PhD Preparation Track is intended for students who plan to continue toward a doctoral degree, and requires a thesis.
