All students in Kinesiology complete either a project, thesis, or comprehensive exam. The courses in the program are planned on a two year rotation for two years of study; however, it is possible to graduate within three semesters of study. Based graduate faculty’s research expertise, areas of study include:

Plan I - Thesis Research: 32 credit hours
Plan II - Master’s Project or Comprehensive Exam: 33 credit hours
