    "description": "A master's degree from UCF in kinesiology prepares you with the education and experience to pursue a career in exercise physiology, sport science, strength and conditioning, or to pursue a doctoral degree in a related field. The program emphasizes exercise as medicine, and trains students to apply scientific practices and principles to support health and maximize performance across the lifespan.\r\n\r\nThe Master of Science in Kinesiology offers a non-thesis track, and a thesis track. Both options require a minimum of 36 credit hours, with at least 18 credit hours of coursework at the 6000 level. All students are automatically placed in the non-thesis track. Students wishing to pursue the thesis option must receive approval from the graduate program director and have a commitment from a faculty member to serve as the thesis committee chair.\r\n\r\nStudents in the non-thesis option are required to participate in a practicum, APK 6946, that will serve as their culminating graduate experience or take an independent learning experience (PET 6910 - Problem Analysis - Review of Literature) that involves a detailed literature review specific to a subject area of the student's interest under the supervision of graduate faculty.\r\n\r\n<strong>Related Graduate Certificates:</strong>\r\n<a href=https://www.ucf.edu/degree/anatomical-sciences-certificate/\">Anatomical Sciences Graduate Certificate</a> &mdash; Done in conjunction with your MS degree, you can gain an in-depth understanding of anatomical sciences and substantial hands-on experience in the gross anatomy laboratory when you elect to complete a graduate certificate in anatomical sciences.
