The Kinesiology graduate program provides degree options focused on research, academic scholarship, and hands-on implementation. Students benefit from instruction by distinguished faculty members with specialized knowledge. Those pursuing an MS degree can choose between a non-thesis (applied practice-oriented) or thesis track. Our thesis-based MS and PhD programs connect with key research concentrations, listed on the left: Physical Activity and Well-Being, Exercise and Disease, and Cognitive Motor Neuroscience. Each concentration involves multiple faculty members. While students have a primary advisor, they can also collaborate with additional supporting professors. This framework ensures comprehensive support for every student during their academic journey with us.
