Cognate in Sport and Exercise Psychology
Eligible doctoral students can add a sport and exercise psychology (SEP) cognate to their plan of study. The SEP cognate allows students to learn about theory and research used to educate coaches, athletes, parents, exercisers, fitness professionals, and military personnel about the psychological aspects of sport or physical activity used to facilitate optimal involvement, performance, and enjoyment. It is offered in support of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology graduate program recommendations. The cognate requires 15 or 24 credit hours. Students must have at least a 3.0 and be in good academic standing.
