Program Overview

Health and Exercise Science (M.S.)

Overview

Our M.S. program offers a range of opportunities in health-focused coursework that allows you to experience science-based, rigorous research firsthand. Our graduate students are encouraged to seek out a lab that reflects their interests, where they can participate in hands-on research in many disciplines of study, including health span, prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders, researching neuromuscular disease and disability, investigating cancer recurrence, and engaging with the physical and mental health of active duty military and first responders. Students also have the opportunity to engage in outreach programs, work directly with undergraduates in both lab and classroom settings, and are a vital part of the HES academic ecosystem.
