Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services

Department of Kinesiology and Health Sciences

 

The MS degree is designed to provide an advanced course of study and prepare graduates for roles in the disciplines of exercise science (biomechanics, exercise physiology, or wellness programming). Graduate studies in kinesiology allow students a more in-depth course of study within their discipline, combining advanced coursework with research and practical experience to prepare graduates for employment opportunities in their field. The MS degree also provides excellent preparation for students pursuing a PhD in Kinesiology or admission into medical school, dental school, physical therapy, or other health professions.

MS students specialize in exercise science for research and study. This specialization provides a comprehensive background in the physical, biological, and mechanical sciences. It prepares students for professional applications or advanced study. For more specific information about the program see the department’s website at khs.usu.edu/students/graduate/programs.
