Associateships and Assistantships
Graduate teaching associateships are available for a limited number of qualified students. These provide essential education, technical training, and creative experience necessary for future professional and scholarly activity or college-level teaching. Graduate assistantships are also available in some cases to aid faculty research. Applications and additional information on graduate programs may be obtained from the School of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences website at https://ens.sdsu.edu.
General Information
The School of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences offers graduate study leading to the Master of Science degree in kinesiology with a specialization in applied movement science. Applied movement science is a growing, interdisciplinary field that focuses on the measurement and evaluation of human function, and its relation to fitness, disability, and rehabilitation. The program delivers a unique combination of biomechanical, motor control, and exercise physiology principles aimed at preparing professionals for a diverse set of health and fitness-related careers. In particular, the program emphasizes clinical research to include the development of “hands-on” data acquisition/analysis skills for the assessment of motor performance in health and sport and exercise-related environments. The degree can serve as an entry point into clinical research positions or as preparation for doctorate degrees in kinesiology, physical therapy, or other rehabilitation science-based graduate programs.
Faculty in the program are broadly based and include prominent researchers from disciplines such as biomechanics, motor control, rehabilitation sciences, and sensorimotor neuroscience.
Admission to Graduate Study
All students must satisfy the general requirements for admission to the university with classified graduate standing as described in Admission and Registration . In addition, a student applying for admission to the graduate program in kinesiology must meet the following requirements.
- A bachelor’s degree. Applicants who do not have an undergraduate major in kinesiology or related discipline may be admitted to conditionally classified graduate standing on the recommendation of the graduate adviser of the school. Students will be required to complete or have equivalent preparation in BIOL 212 , BIOL 336 , ENS 304 , ENS 306 , ENS 307 , and an undergraduate statistics course.
- A grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 overall or at least 3.0 in the last 60 units of baccalaureate coursework.
Students will be admitted ONLY in the fall semester. Submit applications by the application deadline. Applicants should refer to the admission to master’s and doctoral study section for application instructions. All applicants must submit admissions materials separately to SDSU Graduate Admissions and to the School of Exercise and Nutritional Sciences.
Graduate Admissions
The following materials should be submitted as a complete package directly to:
