The master of arts(M.A.), master of science(M.S.), and doctor of philosophy(Ph.D.) degrees in Physical Education are available through the Department of Physical Education. Our studies emphasize the academic and technical knowledge necessary to conduct sports and recreation programs in public or private agencies. We are also concerned both with understanding the role of movement in the lives of people, and using that understanding to improve the quality of human life. Our graduate program has added new knowledge to physical education and human movement fields. Students prepare for careers in research on human movement phenomena or in advanced teaching, coaching, athletic training, and fitness and sport management.

1) At least 24 credits of graduate level in Physical Education courses are required for the master's degree; 60 credits of graduate level courses are required for the Ph.D. degree(including 24 credits completed in the master's course).


3) All students have to pass a qualifying examination after the third semester.


4) All students have to fulfill needed requirements by the Department of Physical Education.
