Examining the mechanical, neurological, biochemical, physiological, and behavioral aspects of human motion.
The Kinesiology Department provides a multidisciplinary perspective on analyzing human movement. Students in Kinesiology employ techniques from molecular biology, neuroscience, engineering, medicine, and computer science to address distinctive challenges across various environments such as research labs, medical facilities, wellness centers, and outdoor settings. Graduates establish careers in health and fitness sectors, healthcare systems, and the expanding biotech field, with specializations in cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and metabolic health areas.
Discover solutions to these and additional inquiries concerning human movement science through UMass Amherst's Master of Science in Kinesiology. Choose between a research-focused thesis track or a coursework-based MS program.

Qualification Requirements
Prior to their anticipated start date, applicants must complete a bachelor's degree from a U.S. college or university accredited by a regional accrediting association, or complete an international degree that is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree from a college or university recognized and approved by the Ministry of Education or commission responsible for higher education in the country where the degree is earned. If you obtained your degree from a university outside the United States.
When applying to the Kinesiology program, please choose an area of specialization:
Biomechanics
Movement neuroscience
Physical activity and health
Physiology
Students must also choose a faculty member you are interested in working with. Please clearly state the faculty member you would like to work with in your personal statement.
Note: All kinesiology graduate degree programs are STEM designated programs.
For the UMass kinesiology program, each faculty member accepts his/her own graduate students. This means that rather than applying to the program at large, students apply to study under a specific faculty member. The most effective way to gain acceptance is to target a specific lab and contact the director of that lab directly to determine if his/her interests match with yours and if there is an opening for a graduate student. Please be sure to also include the faculty member you would like to work with in your personal statement.
All applicants must meet the general requirements of the Graduate School at UMass Amherst. Admission decisions are based on a review of all application materials. TOEFL scores of 100 or higher, or the equivalent score on other accepted tests, must be submitted by international applicants who do not qualify for a waiver. Accepted MS students generally have undergraduate GPAs of at least 3.0.
