Master of Arts in Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation (Thesis-Based) - Neuroscience and Movement

Researchers in this area study a broad range of topics, from biomechanics to basic neurophysiological processes required for movement and sensation, to the interaction between how the body moves and thinks. The masters of arts (MA) degree prepares students for a wide range of career possibilities in health, kinesiology, recreation and sport management.Thesis and course-based masters degrees are offered in this program. Both are student-centred and research-oriented, offering individualized programs of study. With the guidance of a supervisor, students choose courses based on their area of interest and goals. The thesis route places more focus on the development of research skills. Please note, our graduate degrees are not offered via distance education at this time.
