Master's Program: Ph.D. Preparation Track
Mission Statement
The Mission of the Master's Ph.D. preparation track is to prepare students to continue their studies in a doctoral program. This is accomplished by involving the students in the process of designing and carrying out a research study. Students are encouraged to work closely with a professor in a laboratory or field setting. They take part in generating research questions, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting the results of the study. Thesis research and subsequent writing is closely supervised by a graduate faculty advisor.
Program Description
This program will focus on scholarly research and culminates in a 6-credit written research thesis. Students complete at least 30 credit hours; total credits vary according to student interests and advisor’s requirements. Courses include Philosophy of Science and Research in Kinesiology as well as one graduate-level statistics class taken in a unit other than Kinesiology. Students will also elect at least 9 hours of Kinesiology course work and at least 4 credits of related cognate work in a unit other than Kinesiology.
