Exercise Science - Motor Control Concentration (MS)

Concentration: Motor Control

Motor control is an interdisciplinary science that focuses on neural, physical, and behavioral aspects of the development and regulation of human movement. Emphasis is placed on changes that occur across the lifespan or due to pathology, and adaptations that occur in response to motor learning or exercise training. Students in the MS program in Motor Control are required to conduct research and complete a thesis or faculty approved research project.
