The Master of Science in Kinesiology (MSK) degree provides the knowledge and experience to students who have a related degree (e.g. BSEd in Health and Physical Education, BS in exercise science, exercise physiology, health science, allied health, etc.) to enhance their professional expertise. The MSK program is offered 100% online for the non-thesis track, and primarily online for the thesis track. The 36 hour program of study is individualized based upon student career goals with an emphasis on exercise science-based topics at the advanced level, advanced quantitative and qualitative research classes and other areas of specialization (such as sports coaching ) based on their science or health background.
