Ringkasan program

The goal of this accelerated Ph.D. (Kinesiology) program is to attract and retain top quality graduate students within the graduate research programs. Individuals interested in applying for the accelerated Ph.D. (Kinesiology) program must demonstrate exceptional academic skills as well as providing a documented interest in pursuing a career in research science (e.g. an undergraduate research project). This accelerated Ph.D. (Kinesiology) program allows entry of exceptional students with the required academic and research background to the program directly from an undergraduate program without the need to have completed a Masters degree. This program in exercise physiology is designed for students interested in skeletal muscle physiology; cellular responses to altered mechanical loading in bone and muscle; the impact of endurance exercise and other stressors on the immune system; mechanistic links between obesity, accelerated biological aging and immunological dysfunction (senescence); and research careers in academia.
