Examining human motion serves dual purposes: as a measure of health and physical capability, and as a window into how the neuromotor system coordinates and behaves. This forms a crucial basis for numerous healthcare disciplines. Professionals in these areas must master concepts spanning engineering, movement studies, neuroscience, and rehabilitation therapies. There's a growing demand for highly skilled researchers with cross-disciplinary expertise in neurobiology and biomechanics, particularly focusing on how movement is affected by various health states, disorders, physical limitations, and developmental stages. Our Neuromotor Science (NMS) curriculum equips learners to push forward research in motor control and biomechanics, studying posture and motion in people of all ages and ability levels. The PhD-NMS program targets professionals from backgrounds like engineering, kinesiology, therapy fields, and rehabilitation sciences, enabling them to: enhance knowledge about motor system operations, including movement analysis and neural integration, and how these are influenced by aging, health status, and disabilities; and create therapeutic approaches to enhance mobility, especially postural stability and gait, throughout people's lives.

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.
