The Master of Science Program in Kinesiology specializing in Motor Behavior is designed for students seeking advanced expertise in motor learning and control. This degree program consists solely of coursework without a thesis requirement.
The Motor Behavior specialization emphasizes research in both motor learning and motor control disciplines. Through this cooperative academic setting, we train professionals, scientists, and instructors to minimize injury risks, facilitate post-injury recovery, and enhance wellbeing and athletic performance across all age groups.
For more than 100 years, the Kinesiology Department has served as a foundational unit of the University. Originating in 1892 as the Department of Physiology and Physical Culture within the Women's College, the department pioneered the innovative perspective that physical activity was essential for women's health and wellbeing. While our name has changed throughout the university's growth, our fundamental commitment to advancing physical health education and training continues unchanged.
