Graduate Studies 163Exercise ScienceHealth, Human Performance & Sport DepartmentRice AuditoriumStudents may pursue an MSE in Exercise Science, housedin the Department of Health, Human Performance, and Sport(HHPS). Graduate study in HHPS is designed to enhance theHHPS teaching techniques and to enable the recipient of theMSE degree to: (1) achieve new and broadened academiccompetencies through course work, (2) achieve more effectiveteaching techniques through methodology courses, (3)develop competencies in research, (4) provide professionaland academic training for those desiring to teach or administerin HHPS programs at the post secondary level, and (5) understandthe impact of science and its relationship to success inHHPS.Upon completion of fifteen hours, application for candidacywill be made through an oral review with the programfaculty. Students will make a request for the oral review to thedepartment chair just prior to the completion of fifteen hours.Seven weeks prior to graduation each student is required tofile for a written exam prepared by the HHPS staff.Admission to Degree Program1.
