“There are a few things about SUU’s program that were appealing to me when deciding where to attend and that I enjoyed while taking the required classes. Most important was the emphasis on applying scientific knowledge to sport, not just simply learning about kinesiology. I also wanted the hands-on classes regarding advanced techniques of resistance training. The availability of classes being offered online also allowed me the flexibility to take classes when I was available. After completion of the master’s program I felt prepared to enter either a doctoral program or the professional field.”
