Sport Sciences grad students conducting research at the Wimbledon Library in London.
The graduate program in Sport Sciences provides for scholarly study in the areas of exercise science, sport management, and sport pedagogy. The curriculum focuses on how physical activity and sport contribute to quality of life.
These issues are considered from several disciplinary perspectives, including:
- Biology
- Education
- Management
- Physiology
- Psychology
- Sociology
This multi-disciplinary approach enables graduates to conceptualize and analyze human movement holistically.
A major strength of the Sport Sciences graduate program lies in its flexibility. Academic programs are individually designed to meet the objectives and needs of students within a variety of emphasis areas.
A typical program includes a core content of classes in sport sciences. Students also supplement their programs with courses in biology, business, chemistry, education, pharmacy or psychology, according to academic and professional goals.
Graduate students are also given opportunities for experiential learning and collaborative research.
Graduates of Pacific's Sport Sciences Master's program have obtained employment at local, regional and national organizations and have obtained admission to top doctoral programs across the country.
