Current Graduate Student Information
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
The Master of Science in Exercise Physiology is designed to provide the student with an understanding of the physiological effects of exercise on the human body. The program also emphasizes the effect of regular exercise on adults and gives the students experience in administering, measuring, and conducting adult fitness programs in the UMVA or corporate setting, to help conduct post-coronary exercise programs in a hospital, to conduct physical fitness evaluations, and to assist in conducting exercise testing. In addition, the graduate is prepared for entrance into a doctoral program in exercise physiology.
The program emphasizes academic preparation in exercise physiology, laboratory experience, exercise leadership experience, knowledge of research methodology, and statistics. Students work in the Exercise Physiology Laboratory and may also choose to work in the experimental adult fitness class. Students must complete a thesis in the general area of exercise physiology.
The Master of Science in Exercise Physiology requires a minimum of 33 credit hours.
