MSc in Exercise Physiology in Austin United States | University of Texas at Austin

Our research-focused M.S. program connects students with faculty mentors to investigate diverse topics examining how acute and chronic exercise affects metabolic and cardiovascular health in sedentary, elderly, or medically compromised populations. This pathway is ideal for students aiming to continue toward a Ph.D. in exercise physiology. Prospective M.S. candidates should reach out to faculty members whose research aligns with their interests. The curriculum encompasses cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, neuromuscular, and endocrine physiology as they relate to both short-term and long-term exercise effects. The thesis-based M.S. offers students an opportunity to conduct novel research in exercise physiology, requiring independent work that demonstrates original findings and analytical rigor. Alternatively, the report option involves completing a technical project with a comprehensive literature review presented in a professional written format.
