国际学生入学条件
Application to the Ph.D. or M.S. programs in Kinesiology is made by applying to the Graduate School at Penn State using the Graduate School's online application.
The application requires that you submit transcripts for all post-secondary institutions you have attended. These transcripts may be unofficial in your initial application. Once you have been offered admission and accepted the offer, official transcripts will be required by the Graduate School. See below for important notes regarding transcripts and other documents that are not in English.
Please ensure that your application is complete, including letters of reference. Only complete applications will be reviewed.
(Optional) Graduate Record Examination (GRE) general test scores. Please use school code 2660 to have ETS send your scores to Penn State. GRE scores are now optional for the Department of Kinesiology.
Three (3) letters of recommendation for those applying to the doctoral program, and two (2) letter for those applying to the master's program. These letters should come from academic referees (professors and research supervisors). Your referees will receive an email from the Graduate School, requesting they complete an online recommendation letter.
A personal statement of your background and professional goals, including your specific research interests.
(Optional) You may choose to include a CV/resume and a writing sample.
The names of any prospective research mentors among our faculty. In our mentor-based program faculty members are instrumental in admissions decisions. Your application will be routed directly to the faculty members you list. Please be selective in identifying possible faculty mentors, however, because conveying a lack of scholarly focus or purpose may negatively affect your chances for admission.
For the TOEFL internet-based test (iBT), the Graduate School requires minimum total score of 80 with a 19 on the speaking section. The Department of Kinesiology has a higher standard, requiring a total score of 100 with a 22 on the speaking section. Applicants with TOEFL scores falling between the Graduate School and Department thresholds who are recommended for admission by a faculty mentor will by interviewed by video conference (e.g., Skype or Zoom) by the prospective mentor and by the Professor-in-Charge of the Graduate Program.

课程简介
运动控制涉及控制和协调基本运动活动的问题,例如姿势,运动,多关节伸手运动和握力。目前的具体研究主题包括:协调和控制年轻健康个体运动的神经机制,生物力学因素在运动控制中的作用,整个生命周期中运动控制的变化,特定感觉方式在运动控制和控制中的贡献和整合。神经疾病和中风后的运动功能障碍和恢复的协调以及机制。这些研究计划强调志愿运动生产领域中的基本要素和应用要素。该课程为设计学习课程提供了极大的灵活性。学生可以参加该系提供的任何课程,也可以参加旨在促进他们特别感兴趣的主题的研究活动的独立学习课程。
Motor control is concerned with issues of control and coordination of such fundamental motor activities as posture, locomotion, multi-joint reaching movement, and prehension. Specific themes of research currently include: The neural mechanisms underlying coordination and control of movements in young healthy individuals, the role of biomechanical factors for motor control, changes in motor control throughout the lifespan, the contributions and integration of specific sensory modalities in motor control and coordination, and mechanisms of motor dysfunction and recovery following neurological disease and stroke. These research programs emphasize both basic and applied elements within the area of production of voluntary movements. This program allows considerable flexibility in designing the course of study. Students may enroll in any courses offered in the department as well as in independent study courses designed to promote research involvement in a topic of their particular interest.
