4. Curriculum for the Program a. Admissions. The PhD program will require that students complete a masters degree in Kinesiology or a related field of study from an accredited institution (e.g. education/physical education, biology, psychology, etc.), a first professional degree in a related area from an accredited institution (e.g., Doctorate in Physical Therapy, PharmD). Applicants must show evidence of a minimum GPA of 3.0 throughout their undergraduate and subsequent degree programs. In addition to these standards, the following will also be required academic elements of the admissions process: i. Applicants will be required to forward GRE scores obtained within the previous 5 years. The department will not set a standard GRE score that must be attained for admission; however, the graduate advisor may consider the GRE score in his/her decision to accept or decline an application. The GRE scores will be used to monitor the academic potential of cohorts of students over time; ii. Official transcripts documenting graduate or first professional degree experience; iii. Official transcripts documenting undergraduate degree; iv. Personal statement of interest in the program; v. Three letters of recommendation The admissions process will be covered in more detail in subsequent sections of this proposal. b. PhD Core Course Requirements. In developing the PhD curriculum, we have explored the curricula of approximately 20 other programs around the country that have an emphasis in applied Kinesiology in an effort to help guide our proposed program. The emphasis of the PhD in Kinesiology is on the development of doctoral candidates who are capable of conducting independent research. Thus, it is expected that approximately one-third of the student credit hours will come from independent studies and dissertation hours guided by the student’s faculty mentor. Nonetheless, it is important that the students also receive a strong academic background in Kinesiology through structured coursework. To some degree the previous graduate work should support that foundation. However, the PhD in Kinesiology will require a minimum of 36 hours of formal graduate course work (i.e., at NMSU and in addition to any other graduate work previously performed). Of the 36 credit hours, at least 24 credit hours must come from the following: i. At least 12.0 credit hours must come from graduate courses in the home department (HPDR) (a discussion of course offerings follows below) ii. Moreover, to ensure that the PhD graduates have a strong foundation in the broad discipline of Kinesiology, the PhD students in Kinesiology will be required to take at least one graduate course in HPDR that substantially supports their foundational knowledge in each of the four core component areas outlined by the American Kinesiology Association: 9
1. Relationships among physical activity, health, and quality of life 2. Scientific foundations for study of physical activity and human movement 3. Social, cultural, and historical context of the study of physical activity 4. The practice of physical activity iii. In addition to the courses described above, at least 12.0 credit hours must be taken in research methodologies, at least 3.0 credits of which must be in experimental statistics, and at least 3.0 credits from a qualitative methods course. The experiences of the students will vary depending on their research interests. For example, some students will take 6 credits in qualitative methodologies, while others take 6 credits in quantitative methodologies. However, at a minimum all students will take at least 3 hours of each. Furthermore, we expect that many students will engage in an independent study course with their mentor to pursue specialized methodologies (e.g. Participatory Activist Research; Hierarchical Linear regression, etc.). At present, the department offers a number of courses at the graduate level to support a foundation in these core areas. These include: PEP 466/566—Secondary Physical Education Methods 6 cr. Focus on structuring the learning environment to encourage lifelong health-related physical activity. Includes enhancing critical thinking skills through physical activity. Supervised physical education field experience in a secondary school included. PE P 504. Teaching Processes in Physical Education 3 cr. Analysis of effective teaching and coaching. Systematic observation strategies will be employed to evaluate instructional variables such as feedback, climate, academic learning time, and styles of teaching. PE P 505. Psychology of Sport II 3 cr. Application of psychology in coaching and teaching sport skills to optimize athletic performance. Skills in understanding and conducting research emphasized. Prerequisite: PE P 304 or consent of instructor. PE P 509. Biomechanics 3 cr. Mechanical and anatomical considerations applied to the analysis and teaching of human motion. PE P 512. Inferential Statistics in Sport and Exercise Science 3 cr. A graduate course designed to teach students how to use and interpret inferential statistics using the scientific method. An understanding of sport and exercise science theory is prerequisite for students wishing to enroll in this course. PE P 545. Skill Acquisition 3 cr. Behavioral and physiological examination factors that influence the acquisition and performance of motor skills. PE P 550. Advanced Topics in Physical Education 1-4 cr. Advanced study in teaching processes, perceptual motor development, bioenergetics, biomechanical instrumentation, psychological bases of performance, or motor control. 10
