Research Tools

Doctoral students in this degree must demonstrate competency in two research tools. Three possibilities are listed below:

  1. Research Design. Applied Statistics/Quantitative Methods. Complete 9-12 hours (excluding SRM 600 and SRM 700).
  2. Research Design. Applied Statistics/Qualitative Methods. Complete 9-12 hours (excluding SRM 600 and SRM 700).
  3. Discipline-Specific Laboratory Techniques. Exhibit competency in laboratory-based research work, which is specific to a student’s concentration area. Coursework supporting this requirement is acceptable, but not required.

NOTE: In addition to Graduate School Candidacy and graduations requirements, doctoral students in the School of Sports and Exercise Science must complete requirements associated with the SES doctoral matrix.
