About the Program
Students in the seeking a master of science in physiology of exercise may choose from two concentrations: Physiology of Exercise-Research and Physiology of Exercise-Clinical.
The research specialization is a two-year program that requires the completion of a master’s thesis. This concentration requires the completion of 45 quarter-hours of coursework, which includes six hours dedicated to the completion of the thesis. This program is designed to prepare students to work in an academic or research environment. A strong background in the sciences, including organic chemistry, physics, calculus, human anatomy, physiology and exercise physiology is recommended.
The clinical specialization is a five-quarter program (starting and ending in the summer) that prepares students to work as preventative and rehabilitative specialists (as certified by the American College of Sport Medicine [ACSM]) in a variety of settings including corporate fitness programs, wellness centers, fitness clubs, universities, and clinical sites. The concentration requires completion of 47 quarter-hours of coursework, an internship and comprehensive examinations at the end of the academic program.
