Overview
The applied physiology specialization within our master’s program provides you opportunities for research in advanced exercise physiology and nutrition. You’ll learn to critically evaluate research literature and to enhance problem solving, research and laboratory skills. This focused area of study may be appropriate if your undergraduate work was in disciplines such as physical therapy, exercise science, kinesiology, nutrition, biology or physical education.
The University at Buffalo offers a master program in Exercise Science. Research opportunities are available in pulmonary, muscle or circulatory physiology and exercise nutrition. Many students have contributed to our field’s body of knowledge by publishing the results of their work in refereed journals.
To apply for the specialization, you’ll need the equivalent of a one-term, university-level course in each of the following areas: general physiology, statistics, biomechanics of movement, exercise physiology, anatomy, calculus, computer science and two semesters of physics and chemistry. If you don’t meet the requirements for one or more of the courses, you may still apply and can be admitted to the program contingent on completion of the prerequisites and with faculty permission.
Program Learning Outcomes
- Use information systems to conduct efficient searches of scientific literature
- Critically analyze relevant scientific literature.
- Explain how exercise impacts diverse physiological, biophysical and metabolic systems in humans.
