Human Movement Science

Introduction

Human Movement Science is a graduate-level interdisciplinary field combining rigorous, advanced coursework with hands-on laboratory investigation in the areas of biomechanics, exercise physiology, exercise psychology, motor control and learning, and more. Working alongside esteemed, collaborative faculty in state-of-the-art classrooms and labs, students engage in original, cutting-edge research to build a balanced, in-depth understanding of the human body and mind in motion.

Degree Programs

Master of Science (MS)

  • MS in Kinesiology (Human Movement Science)

    The MS in Human Movement Science a deep dive into the science of human health and performance through advanced coursework and hands-on laboratory research. The curriculum features specialized research areas in biomechanics, exercise physiology, exercise psychology, and motor control and learning, allowing students to study responses to exercise, movement mechanics, and motor behavior across the lifespan.
