Master of Science in Kinesiology, emphasis in:

Exercise Physiology

The M.S. in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology provides advanced training in the physiological responses to acute exercise and the adaptations that occur with training. Several exercise physiology laboratories provide students with state-of-the-art instructional facilities in which it study and learn. The laboratories use technologies that allow online collection and processing of data, sophisticated control of in vivo and in vitro animal preparations and the opportunity to analyze a wide range of physiological parameters. In addition, to work conducted in the laboratories, supplemental experiences are available in:

  • Medicine
  • Veterinary medicine
  • Biology
  • Biochemistry
  • Bioengineering
  • Animal science

Students also have the opportunity to work with the graduate training program in Space Life Sciences.
