Return to: Programs
Sport and Exercise Psychology is designed for students with a scholarly interest
in the field and for those who wish to pursue a doctorate. The program focuses
on a theoretical understanding of sport and exercise from philosophical, sociological,
psychological, and physiological viewpoints. The synergy created in this unique
program provides graduates with the tools and knowledge needed to help individuals
maximize their performance.
The graduate student pursuing the master of science degree in Sport and Exercise
Psychology is required to complete courses in advanced exercise physiology, motor
learning and control, sport sociology, sport psychometrics, sport and exercise
psychology, and applied sport and exercise psychology. The philosophical dimensions
of sport are explored within ethical, aesthetic, epistemological, axiological,
and metaphysical dimensions. The theoretical aspects of Sport and Exercise Psychology
include sport personology (personality, motivation, achievement, and attributions),
anxiety/arousal, attentional focus, and social/cultural manifestations of sport
(humanism, youth sport, cooperation/cohesion, aggression, and leadership). Students
who receive a grade of C+ or lower in any of three courses will be expected to
move from the Sport and Exercise Psychology concentration to another program or
area of concentration.
Undergraduate prerequisites:
- Anatomy and Physiology I and II
- Kinesiology/Biomechanics
