MS SPORT SCIENCE/EXERCISE SCIENCE TRACK

The MS in Sports Science/Exercise Science Track prepares students for a variety of careers in allied health, clinical settings, fitness, and sport-specific performance. Students may choose the thesis or non-thesis option.

The thesis option allows students to gain experience in the design and implementation of research within the field of exercise science.

The non-thesis option allows students to gain experience through internships in the workplace in a variety of settings including hospitals, wellness centers, and corporate and community-based fitness facilities.

Graduation from this program will provide students with the necessary preparation for certification from organizations including the American College of Sports Medicine, the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

We are welcoming back to campus our freshman and students, at all levels, for spring 2021. Although our academic year may appear a little different, we look forward to students continuing either personally or virtually at IUP. Our goals during this unique time are to minimize the health risk while continuing to provide high-quality programs that focus on student success and support.
