Examining human movement, both as a reflection of health and performance and as a way to comprehend the systems behind neuromotor integration and behavior, serves as a cornerstone for numerous healthcare disciplines. Success in these interconnected fields demands expertise spanning engineering, movement studies, neuroscience, and rehabilitation. There's a growing demand for highly skilled researchers with cross-disciplinary knowledge in neurobiology and biomechanics of the sensorimotor system, particularly focusing on how movement is influenced by health status, illness, impairments, and developmental stages. Our Neuromotor Science (NMS) curriculum educates students to push forward the study of neuromotor regulation and biomechanics related to posture and motion in people of all ages and ability levels. The PhD in Neuromotor Science (PhD-NMS) caters to professionals in engineering, exercise science, kinesiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, rehabilitation science, and similar fields, equipping them to: progress scientific knowledge about neuromotor mechanisms, including movement analysis, neuromotor coordination, and their relationship with aging, wellness, capability, and impairment; and help create therapeutic approaches to enhance movement, especially postural and walking control, throughout a person's life.

Qualification Requirements
Bachelor's Degree in Discipline/Related Discipline: All applicants must present credentials that are the equivalent of a baccalaureate degree at Temple University.
A WES course-by-course transcript evaluation is required for applicants who completed their bachelor's degree outside of the United States. This can be requested at https://www.wes.org/ and submitted through SOPHAS.
Statement of Goals: In a one-page statement, articulate why you want to enroll in the PhD-NMS program at Temple. State your career goals and research interests.
Standardized Test Scores:
GRE: Required. Scores from a test taken within the last 5 years must be at or above the 50th percentile in the verbal and quantitative components, with a score of 4 or higher on the writing component. Official scores should be sent directly to SOPHAS using code 0151.
Applicants who earned their baccalaureate degree from an institution where the language of instruction was other than English, with the exception of those who subsequently earned a master's degree at a U.S. institution, must report scores for a standardized test of English that meet these minimums:
TOEFL iBT: 79 (send officially to SOPHAS using the SOPHAS-specific TOEFL code 5688)
IELTS Academic: 6.5
550 on the paper-based (PBT)
The minimum admissions standard for all graduate students is ordinarily an undergraduate grade point average of B or 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, or the functional equivalent for students who have attended universities outside of the United States.
Interview: Students may be invited to interview with the program faculty. An interview may take place in person or through technology if cost prohibits travel to Temple.
Resume: Current resume or CV required.
