MASTER OF SCIENCE IN EXERCISE AND SPORT STUDIES

The graduate program in exercise and sport studies focuses on preparing coaches for women’s intercollegiate teams. The curriculum blends theory courses in exercise and sport studies with hands-on coaching experience at the college level. By design, the program is a small one, with only 16 to 20 candidates in residence. This makes it possible for students to work independently with faculty and coaches.

Smith has a history of excellence in academics and a wide-ranging intercollegiate program composed of 14 varsity sports. Entrance into the two-year program requires a strong undergraduate record and playing and/or coaching experience in the sport in which a student will be coaching. Individuals who do not have undergraduate courses in exercise physiology and kinesiology should anticipate work beyond the normal 48 credits. For more information contact Michelle Finley, Department of Exercise and Sport Studies, Smith College, Northampton, MA 01063, (413) 585-3971; e-mail: mfinley@smith.edu
