Program Description:
The Department of Kinesiology offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science in Exercise Science (MSES) and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Exercise Science degrees. These programs involve a combination of courses, seminars, clinical experiences, and research that is intended to prepare individuals for a wide range of careers that relate to exercise science. The programs are inter-disciplinary by design, and all students are exposed to multiple dimensions of the field. As part of this, students typically take courses that support their work in exercise science from a variety of other departments across the campus and at the university's Medical College. These may include such departments as Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy, Mechanical Engineering, Bioengineering, Research and Measurement, Public Health and Rehabilitation Services, and at the nearby Medical College of Ohio's departments of Anatomy, Physiology, and Industrial Hygiene. Involvement in research is emphasized throughout the program.
