Master of Science [M.S] [Kinesiology and Recreation - Biomechanics] From Illinois State University

Students focus their academic coursework on developing the ability to understand and apply the principles of Biomechanics when serving as a movement analyst in competitive and recreational sport situations, as well as in the workplace. As a culminating experience, students in the Biomechanics sequence will complete a thesis, independent study, or professional practice.

In most cases, students accepted into this sequence will have demonstrated a high level of academic performance; however, some students may have alternative preparation for this sequence through work experience or academic training.

Depending on individual career aspirations, completion of the Biomechanics sequence prepares a student for future study at the doctoral level, for employment as a research assistant with a corporate entity, or to serve as a member of a workplace safety team.
