With the world moving at an ever-faster pace, it’s more important than ever to understand the mechanics of how people move. That’s what biomechanics is all about.
Our master of science (MS) in exercise science with a concentration in biomechanics will prepare you for doctoral work or a career in clinical, industrial, or academic settings.
Our Biomechanics Lab’s ongoing research projects challenge students to assess various aspects of human movement and evaluate individuals with movement disorders and disabilities. Engaging faculty work closely with students as they investigate the latest in the development and control of muscular strength across a wide range of ages and abilities.
No matter your future goals in the field of biomechanics, our master’s degree will help you accomplish them.
