Program description
In 2005, the MSc (Kinesiology) programme began. Throughout its history, many master's students have gone on to doctoral programmes. During that time, graduate students wrote or co-wrote more than 200 peer-reviewed articles. The laboratories are well-equipped, including, but not limited to, 5 data acquisition systems (i.e. force, EMG, range of motion), 2 metabolic carts, hypoxic air generator, force platform, isokinetic dynamometer, 4 muscle stimulation units, transcranial magnetic stimulation units, immersion tank, accelerometers, lumbar motion monitor, and a variety of strain gauges.
In 1975, Memorial awarded its first Master of Physical Education (MPE) degree. Since 2008, the MPE programme has been totally online through distance education. We are presenting Masters of Human Kinetics and Recreation (MHKR) to experts in physical education, athletics, community recreation, health promotion, wellness, and active living in Fall 2020.
Graduates have gone on to work in a wide range of fields, including university professors, physicians, lawyers, engineers, administrators, and teachers. Many graduate students have gone on to earn doctorates in a variety of intriguing subjects.
