Overview
The mission of the Kinesiology (Exercise Science) MS program is to improve the health of individuals in our communities by improving movement.
The Kinesiology (Exercise Science) MS program is designed to provide mastery in principles related to human movement and physiology. Students in our master’s program will explore how the body functions during physical activity and exercise.
The exercise science degree provides excellent preparation for students interested in careers related to exercise science, health, and human performance. Concepts taught in kinesiology, such as exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor function, and nutrition are mastered to understand the impact of physical activity and exercise on health and chronic disease. Developing proficiency in the application of this information offers a rewarding discipline of study for the student, professional, and community.
Graduates from this program may find opportunities in a variety of settings such clinical and community health, public and private industry, or further graduate work (PhD, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, medical, etc.)
