Master of Science in Kinesiology – Exercise Science (on-campus)
The field of Exercise Science allows students to learn about an individual’s physical health, fitness, and sport performance by analyzing the effects of exercise and physical activity on the mind and body.
As a multi-faceted industry, Exercise Science is growing at a rate that is much faster than all other occupations. With the increase of the physical inactivity of the US population and a growing interest in competitive sport, there is a greater demand for health and fitness practitioners who have advanced degrees in the field.
