About the 研究生 Program
The graduate program in 健康, Exercise and Sport Sciences provides for scholarly study in 健康 and Exercise Science, Exercise Physiology and 人类的表现. Each area of emphasis contains a blend of core and elective courses, 使研究生能够设计他们的学习计划，以满足他们的个人研究和教育目标. These elective courses may be selected from other departments, including but not limited to Biology, 化学, 通信, Education and Psychology. 每个研究生都可以选择综合考试或论文项目作为他们的顶峰经历. All graduate students are encouraged to include experiential learning, collaborative re搜索, and internships in their program of study.
Flexible Curriculum
学术课程是单独设计的，以满足学生在各种重点领域的目标和需求. 典型的课程包括健康和运动科学的核心课程，以及生物学的补充课程, 化学, 教育, 或心理学.
研究 and Experiential Learning
研究生也有机会进行体验式学习和合作研究.
事业成功
健康与运动科学硕士课程的毕业生已在当地就业, 地区和国家组织或获得全国顶尖博士课程的录取.
Financial Assistance
