The PhD programs in Exercise Physiology or Health Promotion recognize outstanding research achievements alongside completing a structured curriculum within and beyond the Department of Health and Exercise Science. These degrees demonstrate mastery of independent scholarship and comprehensive knowledge reflecting professional expertise. Typically, doctoral candidates dedicate a minimum of five academic years post-bachelor's degree, involving graduate coursework, passing comprehensive written and oral exams, and successfully defending an original research dissertation. The program requires at least 90 post-baccalaureate credit hours, combining coursework and research training. Departmental standards align with University policies regarding: (1) residency, (2) upper-level course limits, (3) transfer credits, (4) completion timelines, (5) comprehensive exams, (6) ethical research practices, and (7) dissertation defense requirements.

Qualification Requirements
An undergraduate degree in Health and Exercise Science or an equivalent allied field such as biological sciences, health education, kinesiology, human performance, or health psychology is generally required. Applicants holding equivalent degrees and other baccalaureate degrees (e.g. Sport Management) will be evaluated by the department for course deficiencies.
A grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for undergraduate and/or graduate work as defined by the Graduate College Bulletin is required for full admission.
Applicants must submit a transcript from the college or university where they earned their most recent degree in order to be considered for admission. For example, if you have both a bachelor's and a master's degree, you must provide a copy of the transcript from your master's degree. If you are currently in a degree program and will earn that degree before the semester you are applying for, you must submit a transcript from your current institution.
