Program Description:

McDaniel College's Master of Science program in Exercise Science and Physical Education strives to provide each graduate with a core of essential knowledge and skills while allowing the student to pursue his or her own area of specialization in the field. Since 1885, McDaniel College has built an impressive legacy in the state of Maryland, including establishing the first "physical training" course, the first physical education major, and the first master's degree program in physical education. In this dynamic program, you'll work and play alongside students pursuing careers as teachers of physical education, as administrators of sports facilities and programs, or as researchers in human movement and exercise, as well as others seeking or renewing certifications in aspects of the discipline.
