Kinesiology doctoral program jumps into top 10

The results of the National Academy of Kinesiology’s 2015 Doctoral Program Review rank the School of Kinesiology tied for sixth (adjusted for faculty size). This is the best ranking the University of Minnesota has ever received  (11th – 2005, 19th – 2010).

The Doctoral Program Reviews are conducted in five-year intervals and are based on both faculty productivity, funding, and visibility as well as student selectivity, support, employment, and publication

The School of Kinesiology’s doctoral program offers five different concentrations: biomechanics and neuromotor control, exercise physiology, perceptual-motor control and learning, physical activity and sport science, and sport management.

The National Academy of Kinesiology’s dual purpose is to encourage and promote the study and educational applications of the art and science of human movement and physical activity and to honor by election to its membership persons who have directly or indirectly contributed significantly to the study of and/or application of the art and science of human movement and physical activity.
