The PhD programs in Exercise Physiology or Health Promotion recognize outstanding research achievements alongside the completion of a structured curriculum that includes courses both within and beyond the Department of Health and Exercise Science. These degrees demonstrate mastery of independent scholarship and broad academic proficiency. Typically, doctoral candidates dedicate a minimum of five academic years beyond their undergraduate studies. This timeframe encompasses graduate-level coursework, passing comprehensive written and oral examinations, and completing an original research dissertation with a successful defense. The doctoral program requires at least 90 post-baccalaureate credit hours, encompassing both coursework and research credits needed to develop essential research skills.
