Sport and exercise psychology is a multidisciplinary field examining how psychological elements interact with athletic involvement and physical activity. Within the Department of Kinesiology and Health Promotion, the two-year graduate program provides students with two pathways: an applied track or a research-focused track. Both approaches combine theoretical research with practical implementation of principles related to performance improvement and personal development. Graduates will gain comprehensive knowledge about the psychosocial aspects affecting sports engagement and athletic achievement.
