Kinesiology offers the Master of Science (M.S.) and Master of Arts (M.A.) degrees. Both degrees are intended for students with exemplary academic or professional credentials seeking advanced academic training in areas related to human movement.
The M.S. and M.A. degrees require at least 30 credits of course work; six of those credits may be for thesis work courses. Students choose one of three options:
Masters: Comprehensive Track, allowing for flexible in-depth study of human movement.
Masters: Ph.D. Preparation Track, intended for students who plan to continue toward a doctoral degree. This track requires a thesis.
Masters: Sport Management Track, intended for students specializing in the management, marketing, economics, finance, and public policy of sports.
Faculty Advisors. Every Masters student will be assigned a faculty advisor who will best match the student’s area of study.
