i n e s i o l o g yThe combined MS/PhD track in Kinesiology con- sists of a minimum of 78 semester hours beyond the baccalaureate degree. It is anticipated that the Plan of Study for the MS/PhD Track will reasonably span 5 years. By the end of Year 2, students will enroll in a minimum of 6 hours of integrative/research related activity to meet the requirements of the MS degree if they choose not to continue on to completion of the PhD degree. For those students already enrolled in the MS degree, it is expected their MS course work will already include many of the foundational courses for their discipline. In this case, additional course work in Years 3 and 4 will primarily consist of intensive research and dissertation credit hours. Specific course work will be determined by the student’s advisor and advisory committee, consistent with each sub-disci- pline. A general outline of requirements is below:
Application and Admission
In addition to the application materials required by The Graduate School, applicants must submit supple- mentary application materials required by the depart- ment and described in detail at www.uncg.edu/kin/ essappl.html.

Exceptional students who have an appropriate baccalaureate degree and who demonstrate superior ability and a high level of motivation and dedication to research and learning are eligible to apply directly into the MS/PhD track. Current master’s degree stu- dents in kinesiology who wish to pursue the PhD may apply once they have completed at least 18 credits
demonstrated dedication to research, and have not yet formally proposed their thesis.

For those seeking a concentration in applied neuromechanics, exercise physiology, pedagog- ical kinesiology, or sport and exercise psychology the 36 hours are designated as follows.
The PhD in Kinesiology requires a minimum of 60 semester hours. Some students are required to take additional hours beyond the minimum. Students may choose to take a general course of study in kinesiol- ogy or choose from four concentration areas: applied neuromechanics, exercise physiology, pedagogical ki- nesiology, and sport and exercise psychology.

Required Benchmarks
Continued progression in the MS/PhD track is con- tingent on satisfactory progress through each year of study. Progress will be formally assessed each Spring as follows:
Year 1: Preliminary Screening (Early/Mid Spring)
The preliminary screening will consist of a formal evaluation of the scholarly work completed from the time of admission through the completion of 18 hours of course work (counting work in progress in a current term). This screening must occur during the second semester of study, so that a decision can be made prior to admission and graduate assistantship decisions for the upcoming Fall. An advisory committee consisting of a minimum of 3 members (the student’s advisor, Director of Graduate Study, and at least one other) will conduct the first year preliminary screening review. The intent is to determine relatively early in students academic careers whether or not they display the high quality of academic achievement necessary to pursue and successfully complete the doctoral degree. Excellent students will be encouraged to continue in the program. Students who do not meet the requirements will be strongly urged through counseling by their advisory/ dissertation committee to complete the MS degree level and pursue other intellectual/career avenues.
Procedures for Preliminary Screening Review are available on the KIN web site www.uncg.edu/kin/ phd-prelim.html.
In order to progress to Year 2, all members of the student’s preliminary screening committee must
review all criteria and confirm satisfactory progress in the preliminary evaluation.
Year 2: Research Competence (End of Spring Semester)
Students will be expected to be actively engaged in research from the beginning of their studies in Year 1. In Year 2, students will be expected to com- plete a comprehensive research project by the end of their second year of study. This project should en- compass all aspects of the research process, includ- ing the following:
• Conception and design of the project • Acquisition and reduction of the data • Analysis and interpretation of the data
• Written summary of the work (e.g. Submission ready manuscript)
• Oral presentation of the work
To progress to Year 3, the student’s MS/PhD advi- sory committee must approve the work.
Year 4: Comprehensive Examination
When the student has completed a minimum of ¾ of the course work (60 hours) contained in the program of study and completed the research skill require- ments, they are then eligible to take the comprehen- sive examinations. Each doctoral student is required to pass the doctoral preliminary examinations which consist of both a written and oral examination, per the guidelines of The Graduate School and the Depart- ment of Kinesiology.
