With the world moving at an ever-faster pace, it’s more important than ever to understand the mechanics of how people move. That’s what biomechanics is all about, and a master’s degree in biomechanics will move you along the path toward doctoral study or a career in clinical, industrial, or academic settings.

Our program blends rigorous classroom learning with the kind of hands-on experiences for which Ball State is known. You’ll learn about the analysis of movement, skeletal disorders, laboratory techniques, general research methods, and other topics important to your understanding of biomechanics and how it relates to other fields. You’ll further your expertise through thesis research and advance your skills through collaborations in the biomechanics laboratory.
