The Kinesiology graduate program provides degree options focused on research, academic scholarship, and hands-on implementation. Students learn from distinguished faculty members with specialized knowledge across various disciplines. Those pursuing an MS degree can choose between a non-thesis (applied practice-oriented) or thesis (research-intensive) pathway. The thesis option is particularly suited for students aiming for doctoral studies or research-centric careers. Our MS thesis and PhD programs connect with key research themes showcased on the left: Physical Activity and Well-Being, Exercise and Disease, and Cognitive Motor Neuroscience. Each thematic area involves multiple faculty members, allowing students to have both a primary advisor and collaborative opportunities with supporting professors. This framework ensures comprehensive support for every student throughout their academic journey.
