Experimental Exercise Physiology
Thesis option only
Experimental exercise physiology provides an educational program in basic or applied research in exercise physiology and in scientific research techniques associated with the field. Course work will prepare students to study the biological mechanisms underlying the body's response to exercise.
Graduates with an emphasis in experimental exercise physiology may choose to apply to doctoral programs in a related academic field such as physiology or neuroscience, or may choose careers in academic or corporate research programs.
