Choosing a Great Exercise Physiology and Kinesiology School for Your Master's Degree

Your choice of exercise physiology and kinesiology for getting your master's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality exercise physiology program can vary widely even among the top schools. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:

Quality Overall Is Important

The overall quality of a master's degree school is important to ensure a quality education, not just how well they do in a particular major. To account for this we consider a school's overall Best Colleges for a Master's Degree ranking which itself looks at a combination of different factors like degree completion, educational resources, student body caliber and post-graduation earnings for the school as a whole.

Other Factors We Consider

The metrics below are just some of the other metrics that we use to determine our rankings.

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to exercise physiology and kinesiology students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - The number of exercise physiology and kinesiology students who choose to seek a master's degree at the school.
• Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized exercise physiology and kinesiology related body.

Our full ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best colleges for exercise physiology and kinesiology students working on their master's degree.
