Master of Science [M.S] [Kinesiology] From University of Rhode Island

URI’s Kinesiology Master’s curriculum emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the physiology of exercise in healthy adults and special populations. The curriculum includes topics in advanced physiology of exercise, theory and practice in physical activity promotion, physiology of physical activity and health, cultural studies in physical activity, and seminars in Kinesiology as core courses. You will have hands-on laboratory experiences in cardiopulmonary physiology, body composition, and microscopic tissue analysis as part of their coursework, and can tailor their program toward a special problems project, a thesis project or an internship in cardiac rehabilitation or fitness program in a community or private setting. Students are mentored by exercise science faculty who collaborate across and off campus, offering opportunities for interdisciplinary research projects.
