Master of Arts (M.A.) Kinesiology and Physical Education (Thesis) (45 credits) and Master of Science (M.Sc.) Kinesiology and Physical Education (Thesis) (45 credits) |
---|
The thesis programs in Kinesiology and Physical Education are designed to help students develop research skills and expertise in their selected areas of research. All students must have a physical science background to study in the M.Sc. program and a social-psychological background to study in the M.A. program. Students are supervised by a faculty researcher in their respective laboratory or clinical locations. These research programs often lead to career advancement in academic, scholastic, industrial, clinical, and/or social health care settings. |
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Kinesiology Sciences |
The objective of the Ph.D. in Kinesiology Sciences is to provide opportunities for in-depth research experience in (an) area(s) of Departmental expertise within the breadth of kinesiology research. Students with a Master's degree in kinesiology or related discipline or equivalent background will qualify to apply. Students are supervised by a faculty researcher in their respective laboratory or clinical location(s). Students will complete a number of courses, including a capstone course intended to survey contemporary issues in kinesiology research. Students will become experts in their research field while obtaining knowledge on the multidisciplinary nature of Kinesiology Sciences. |
