For students seeking careers in Fitness & Sport or Healthcare, our Masters of Science in Exercise Science is for you. This 2-year program uses a cohort design, meaning that students take all classes together and Year 2 includes curated internship opportunities to provide hands-on experiences and professional networking.
| Fall, Year 1 | Spring, Year 1 | Fall, Year 2 | Spring, Year 2 | |
| Both Tracks | ||||
| Core Courses | 1/Advanced Exercise Physiology 2/Exercise Prescription & Programming 3/Sport Psychology: Theory, Research, Practice |
1/Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injuries | 1/Fundamentals of Scientific Research in Exercise Science | 1/Seminar in Health Physiology 2/Capstone Writing Workshop** |
| Final Project | ** A Capstone project is required for graduation. The project may be based on a case study from an internship experience, a summary of experiences, or a pre-approved scientific literature review of current clinical practices or theory. The workshop teaches writing skills and provides dedicated time to preparing the final Capstone project, which is presented to KAP faculty and students each spring. | |||
