Graduate Students
Whether brand new on your graduate school journey or a returning student, we are excited you chose to continue your education with the College of Health & Human Performance.
Curriculum Touches Nearly Every Aspect of Daily Life
Our faculty and researchers use state-of-the-art facilities to collect data that help us understand people. We use this understanding to win the battle against addiction, improve the quality of life for those suffering from debilitating neurological, cardiovascular and muscular diseases and help span cultural divides through tourism and sport.
The residential Ph.D. in Health and Human Performance is a single college-wide degree program with concentrations housed and administered by each of the four departments. Each department also offers master’s degrees in both online and residential formats.
