Kinesiology Ph.D.

The School of Kinesiology spans a wide range of inquiry connected by the common thread of the study of human movement. Graduate programs reflect a broad study of physical activity ranging from exercise science, movement science, and human performance, to physical activity and sport science and sport management. Much of the research conducted in the school is interdisciplinary in nature and involves collaborative partnerships with life science disciplines such as medicine, neuroscience, and epidemiology and fosters links with business, education, and social sciences. MS students pursue an individualized program with an emphasis in one of the following areas: biomechanics and neuromotor control; exercise physiology; perceptual-motor control and learning; physical activity and health promotion; sport and exercise psychology; sport sociology.
