Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology, PhD
The PhD program in Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology at 秘色传媒 is recognized as one of the premier training programs in the world.
This provides students with a comprehensive curriculum delivered by highly qualified faculty. The program combines academic rigor, applied consulting opportunities, and extensive research experiences. Graduates are equipped to become highly competent, well-rounded professionals in sport, exercise, and performance psychology.
Students conduct their own line of research, work with faculty to produce publishable manuscripts, and complete three research benchmarks in addition to their dissertation. Supervised experiences in sport, exercise, and performance settings, including Division I, II, and III athletic programs, are available for students.
This PhD program includes a concurrent master鈥檚 degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. This allows students to sit for counseling licensure upon graduation. This combination of research and application in sport, exercise, and performance psychology, prepares students for careers as sport psychology consultants, researchers, and faculty members. A science track, which has a greater emphasis on research without the master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, is also available.
Many students work 20 hours a week during the semester as a graduate assistant, either teaching, providing service or conducting research. In return for these contributions, graduate assistants receive a tuition waiver and stipend.
This program is delivered in-person and requires full-time residency in Morgantown for the majority of the 3-4 year program.
