Master of Science or Arts in Kinesiology (MSc or MA)

These programs are predicated on the "Inquiry Approach" allowing students to examine issues and questions related to the specific subdiscipline areas. The design of the programs allows for considerable flexibility permitting students to pursue their area of interest under the guidance and advice of their supervisor. A thesis, subject to oral examination, is required for the MSc degree and a project is required for the MA degree.  The program length is usually two years.

*Students are able to examine issues and questions related to the specific subdiscipline areas in EPHE580-584. The content of these courses may vary from year to year to keep them current and relevant and allow faculty to present material specific to their area of inquiry.

**Students will receive an overview of statistical procedures as well as other approaches to research in EPHE573. This will be complemented by students taking additional courses specific to their probable research question and design.

***Electives may be chosen from courses in the School of Exercise Science, Physical & Health Education, including Directed Studies or Special Topic courses, or other departments, to increase the knowledge base in the student's area of interest.
