Ph.D. Program in Kinesiology and Applied Physiology:
Doctoral students must complete all requirements for the Ph.D. degree, including within the area of specialization, supporting cognate area(s), research design and statistics, comprehensive exams, and dissertation. The exact program of study is developed in consultation with the student's advisor and approved by a faculty committee. Doctoral candidates are required to complete a total of 72 semester credits (including 24 dissertation credits but no more than 36 credits). Courses completed at the master's degree level may be accepted by the student's guidance committee in partial fulfillment of departmental requirements, but they may not be included in the 72-credit minimum requirement for the doctoral degree.
