Master of Science [M.S] Kinesiology and Applied Physiology
- Current faculty provide expertise in physiology, nutrition, metabolism, psychophysiology, and endocrinology.
- Existing ties to outstanding programs at Rutgers (i.e., Nutritional Sciences, Endocrinology and Animal Biosciences, Psychology, and Physiology and Integrative Biology, the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, and the Medical School) provide a unique foundation for the education and training of the next generation of scientists in the area of Kinesiology.
- The programs emphasize training in both basic and applied science.
- This program focuses on in-depth training in either Exercise Physiology or Exercise Psychology.
- Students will be taught about hormonal, biochemical, metabolic, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and psychological responses to exercise, exercise testing and prescription principles, and application of physical activity to an overall beneficial wellness profile.
- The strengths of the department faculty and the affiliated faculty from the partnering disciplines are conducive to implementing this model.
- Furthermore, due to supportive ties to the recently established Institute for Food, Nutrition, and Health (IFNH) at Rutgers, translational research at both a human health and performance level will be a priority of this program.
- Within the IFNH, the Center for Health & Human Performance provides an outstanding potential training experience for students in this program.
