Master of Science - Kinesiology

The Master of Science in Kinesiology is an integrated study of movement encompassing the physiological, mechanical, and behavioral aspects of physical activity. Students have the option to pursue a research track and a clinically applied track.

Graduates within the research track will experience data collection, analysis and interpretation, often out of the lab and within real-world settings. Students can pursue further graduate training such as advanced study at the doctoral level, admission to allied health professional programs, and medical school.

Graduates pursuing the clinically applied track will be prepared to sit for the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Clinical Exercise Physiology certification exam. Graduates will be qualified to consult on exercise-related research, public health and policy making, and other clinical and non-clinical services. Graduates will also be able to work in medical and allied health settings to manage cardiac and pulmonary risks, training, and rehabilitation.
