Kinesiology, MS
The award-winning Master of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Sport and Exercise Science is a STEM certified program designed to prepare professionals in the multi-faceted disciplines of athletic performance, strength and conditioning, sport coaching, fitness, and allied health. These disciplines include the application and in-depth study of biomechanics, sport physiology, strength and conditioning, motor performance, sport nutrition, athletic testing, and sport psychology. Thus, a major purpose of this program is to bridge the gap between the science and application of sports performance, as well as preparation for advanced research (e.g., Ph.D.). The program is internationally recognized by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and is fully accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Strength and Conditioning Education (CASCE). The program features a vibrant community of scholars that are nationally and internationally recognized in the areas of sport and exercise science.
