PhD Programs

• 
• Program Type: PhD Program
• Kinesiology and Applied Physiology, PhD
• Phd Program Details: To reduce barriers to a physically active lifestyle, the Rutgers Kinesiology and Applied Physiology (KAP) program trains aspiring researchers, coaches and trainers, and healthcare professionals. Our goal is to make physical activity and exercise more accessible, more effective, and more sustainable for everyone. By doing so, we can reduce the burden of diseases, like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and dementia AND continue to optimize human performance. The Kinesiology and Applied Physiology program (M.S. & Ph.D.) trains students for exercise- and health-focused research careers in academia, government, military, and the tech industry.

• Program Type: PhD Program
• Anthropology, PhD
• Phd Program Details: Distinguished faculty in these areas enable the program to attract outstanding graduate students who excel in national research grant competitions. Students find a supportive environment, accessible faculty, and superb research resources. Most students enter directly into the Ph.D. program and earn a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree along the way after completing the necessary courses and paperwork. Some students enter the Ph.D. program with a Master's degree in hand and may apply to transfer up to 24 credits from graduate anthropology courses taken elsewhere in the last six years. Students may also apply to the master's program, either making an M.A. their ultimate or "terminal" goal, or reapplying to the Ph.D. program after completion of the M.A.
