The Ph.D. in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Physiology is designed to prepare its graduates for careers in teaching or research-based academia, as well as industry-related research positions. The program is mentor-based, and it is generally expected that students gain ample experience in both research and teaching while at UNCG.<br><br>Students learn the impact of exercise at the whole body, system, and cellular level. Students apply this knowledge to work with healthy and clinical populations in the community using state-of-the-art equipment, novel, cutting-edge procedures, and advanced data analytics.<br><br>Since 1892, the Department of Kinesiology has been a cornerstone department of the University. Historically, the department took the progressive view that women should be physically active to improve their health and wellness. As the department evolved, our name changed, but our core mission to promote physical activity and education about physical health remains unchanged.
