The programs leading to MS degrees in Exercise Physiology, Food Science, and Nutritional Sciences are based in research, and a culminating research project completed under the guidance of a faculty mentor is a critical component of each program. Applicants are encouraged to reach out to faculty members and identify potential research areas prior to admission, and students are encouraged to begin working on their research projects early in the program. More information about our faculty can be found on this pdf and also by clicking on the ‘Faculty’ links on each program page.
