Master of Science [M.S] [Kinesiology] From Michigan State University

Collaborative course work, laboratory and field experiences, clinical placements, and research are available with other departments and schools both at Michigan State University and at other universities, as well as with various community agencies.

The primary objective of the master's degree program in kinesiology is to help students to acquire a breadth of knowledge grounded in theory, to gain expertise in one or more areas of specialization, and to develop competence in methods of inquiry. The program follows the guidelines that were adopted by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE).

A range of relevant courses and experiences can be incorporated into the student's program to satisfy individual needs and interests.

Eight major areas of study within the discipline of kinesiology are available to master's students:

• Athletic Training

• Coaching

• Cognitive and Motor Neuroscience

• Exercise Physiology

• Psychosocial Aspects of Sport and Physical Activity

• Sport Administration

• Strength and Conditioning

• Student Athlete Development

For each student, one of these eight areas of study is designated as the concentration.
