The programs are designed to provide students with the theoretical foundations of the movement-based sciences. Through involvement in directed research projects, students obtain an in-depth understanding of laboratory equipment and research applications. 

The Master of Science – Kinesiology is designed for students interested in the study of human performance. Students are provided with the theoretical foundations of the movement-based sciences and select an emphasis in biomechanics, motor learning/control, or sports medicine. Through involvement in directed research projects, students obtain an in-depth understanding of laboratory equipment research and applications in the biomedical sciences. Graduates are prepared to make applications of the movement sciences in research, clinical or athletic settings and for entrance into doctoral programs in kinesiology.
