MASTER OF SCIENCE IN KINESIOLOGY
The
Master of Science in Kinesiology is designed for students interested
in the study of human motor performance. Students are provided
with the theoretical foundations of the movement-based sciences
and select an emphasis in biomechanics, measurement and evaluation,
motor learning/motor control, or sports medicine. Through involvement
in directed research projects, students obtain an in-depth understanding
of laboratory equipment and research applications. Graduates
are prepared to make applications of the movement sciences in
research, clinical or athletic settings, and for entrance into
doctoral programs in kinesiology.
The Master of Science in Kinesiology requires a minimum of 33 credit hours.
The curriculum for the M.S. in Kinesiology consists of the following:
