More information regarding International applications can be obtained from the Doggett International Center’s homepage. Doctoral Advisement for the Ph.D. ProgramThe process of advisement of doctoral students is as follows: The department chair with consultation of the program coordinator, assigns each doctoral student to an academic advisor in his/her chosen specialization. The advisor is appointed during the first semester of the student’s attendance or not later than the completion by the student of nine semester hours of work. Once appointed, the advisor shall call a meeting with the student to discuss the student’s training and experience, strengths and weaknesses, and professional objectives. On the basis of this discussion, along with an evaluation of the student’s credentials and doctoral requirements, the advisor shall identify the specified requirements of the student’s doctoral program. A copy of this individualized program tracking sheet shall be given to the student, the Department Chair, Program Coordinator/Graduate Coordinator, and Registrar. The information from the individualized program tracking sheet will be included in the student’s degree audit which is the official program tracking record for the student. General Program RequirementsThe minimum residency requirement for the Ph.D. in Physical Education is one academic year in full-time graduate study at Springfield College. Residence for the master’s degree at Springfield College or elsewhere does not meet this requirement. Students are expected to complete the minimum number of semester hours identified in their specialization area. All work toward the Ph.D. in physical education must be completed within 10 years of admission. Academic credit accepted for the master’s degree may be counted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the doctorate provided it fits into the student’s program and falls within the acceptable time limit for doctoral credit. For specific information regarding time limits, please refer to the Time Limits section for specifics. Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 (B) in all coursework. A grade of a C+ or lower on any 12 hours of graduate work will disqualify a student from the Ph.D. in physical education program. Transfer of CreditGraduate courses in which the student earned a grade of B or better from accredited institutions may be transferred and applied toward the Doctor of Philosophy degree provided that: - Such work fits into the student’s doctoral program
- It falls within the acceptable time limit for doctoral credit or as otherwise approved with an extension of the default time period.
- When determining transfer credit from a student’s master program, credits will only be accepted if it is determined that they would be considered valid for the entire length of the ten year time period (please refer to time limits for the Ph.D.)
I. Doctor of Philosophy Degree with a Specialization in Teaching and Administration in Physical EducThe Ph.D. program in Physical Education is designed to provide broad based preparation in the field of physical education and it offers students the opportunity to design a program of study to meet their educational goals. The intent of the program is to expose students to various sub-disciplines in the field from which they will build a specific area of research study. This preparation ensures a more holistic and inclusive view of physical education than is found in many programs where specialization in one area is the emphasis. This approach to graduate education is in concert with the mission of the College, which advocates the education of the whole person in spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to humanity. Graduates will have the necessary research expertise to continue as lifelong researchers and contributors to the body of knowledge in physical education. They will be prepared to teach in their research area as well as the various sub-disciplines at all educational levels. Graduates who have focused their studies in administration will be qualified to lead and develop programs in the private and public sectors. The completion of the program is viewed by the College as the first step taken by its graduates in assuming positions of leadership in the field of physical education. Program of Study The Ph.D. program in physical education, teaching and administration, consists of courses and learning experiences in the following areas: Physical Education. This is the student’s field of professional specialization.

D. Preparing Future Faculty (7 credits)E. electives (to total a minimum of 86 credits), time limits for the ph.d.. In view of the present rate of expansion of knowledge and the general desirability of completing the requirements for the Ph.D. within a definite period of time, the following time limitation will be observed: The default time period for a PhD in Physical Education is ten years from the date of acceptance into the program. When determining transfer credit from a student’s master program, credits will only be accepted if it is determine that they would be considered valid for the entire length of the ten year time limitIf credit is accepted toward the doctoral program that would only be considered valid for a period of time less than the ten years, then the time period should be adjusted accordingly. Graduate academic work, to be given full credit toward the requirements for the Ph.D., whether in transfer or completed in residence, must have been secured within ten years prior to the date of one’s candidacy for the Ph.D. degree. In special circumstances, credit for work completed beyond the ten-year limit will be recognized, but only upon special recommendation of the student’s advisor and approval by the Program Coordinator/Graduate Coordinator. All requirements for the Ph.D. degree, including the dissertation must be completed within a period of five years after the student has passed the qualifying examinations and has been matriculated as a candidate for the degree. Failure to complete the requirements within the time limit stated above will mean that the student will be expected to repeat the qualifying examination in order to reestablish candidacy. Following requalification, a maximum of three years of additional candidacy is prescribed. A student who does not complete all requirements by the end of this three-year period is subject to dismissal from the doctoral program. Plagiarism is defined as the appropriation of, and use as one’s own, the writings and ideas of another. Intent to deceive does not have to be present for plagiarism to occur. Students should be cautious when “borrowing” material from other sources. Rewording (paraphrasing) of an author’s ideas does not absolve the student from giving credit and making the appropriate citation. Students who plagiarize are subject to dismissal from the graduate program. Per APA Rule 6.02 “Self-plagiarism refers to the practice of presenting one’s own previously published work as though it were new” (p. 170). “The core of the new document must constitute an original contribution to knowledge, and only the amount of previously published material necessary to understand that contribution should be included, primarily in the discussion of theory and methodology” (p. 16). “Avoid charges of self-plagiarism by familiarizing yourself with the ethical standards regarding duplicate publication and the legal standards of fair use (see also section 1.10)” p. 170. Human Performance The physical education doctoral program has as its primary focus the creation of physical education teacher educators. Home » Program » Human Performance, Physical Education Concentration, Ph.D. Human Performance, Physical Education Concentration, Ph.D.The physical education doctoral program offers courses based on curriculum and pedagogy with a focus on teacher development and supervision. This allows students to focus on theory, application, assessment and policy concerning physical education. Students may gain and apply knowledge from psychology, sociology, and motor behavior. RequirementsInformation. News Briefs Rawsam Alasmar's profound shift from printing to kinesiologyRawsam Alasmar's career journey is marked by a profound shift from a successful 23-year tenure in the printing industry to a passionate pursuit of fitness and allied health. With over 9 years of experience as a corrective exercise therapy specialist, he decided to further his education, earning a Ph.D. in Human Performance with a specialization in exercise science from MTSU in 2021. During his doctoral studies, Dr. Alasmar conducted pioneering research using the "PENDL," a newly developed suspension apparatus, to explore its impact on reducing back pain and enhancing various fitness aspects. His exceptional academic foundation, research expertise, and faculty guidance at MTSU paved the way for his selection as the inaugural Post-doctoral Fellow in Performing Arts Health, Science, and Education at Johns Hopkins University. In this role, he applied his profound knowledge of exercise science to research and collaborated on curriculum development, striving to elevate the performance of individuals in the performing arts. Dr. Alasmar firmly believes that performing artists deserve the same level of care and attention as elite athletes in the sports industry. Currently, Dr. Alasmar serves as an Assistant Professor in the Kinesiology Department at Missouri Southern State University and holds the position of Exercise Science Program Coordinator. Student impressed by mentors, Ph.D. job placementPreparation is invaluable to any student. Brad Camp, a Ph.D. candidate in Human Performance with an emphasis in Leisure Studies, chose MTSU for that exact reason. Camp experienced firsthand the unique assistance that he and fellow classmates have received. "MTSU has a proven track record of getting Ph.D. students hired across the nation. I have watched office mates and colleagues go out and have success obtaining employment." His keen interest in the importance of leisure as a way to maintain a healthy, well-established society persuaded Camp to continue on to a doctorate. He also believes faculty are indispensable to the program, providing both support and mentorship. "Dr. Gray truly cares about her graduate students, and she prepares them to become professionals once they leave ... Dr. Dunlap has introduced me to a wide variety of scholarship. He is incredibly well read, and he constantly encourages me to read new things." Camp's dissertation focuses on the impact of urban-built environments on social interaction. Related Media Graduates often find positions in higher education, leadership roles in k-12 (schools and/or central offices), state departments of education, and as independent researchers.

What it's like being a Physical Education PhD student"I am pursuing doctoral studies to personally challenge myself, fill in gaps in the literature surrounding disability and physical activity, and to collaborate with other professionals to train and teach future teachers for rewarding careers delivering quality physical education." "I selected UNM because I feel that faculty understand my needs and can support and guide my future growth in research and pedagogy. I believe the relationship a student has with their major professor is critical to their success and I am confident that I have found that mentorship in Dr. Karen Gaudreault." "UNM attracted me for a variety of reasons. First, I feel the program can be tailored to meet my individual educational needs and interests. Further, New Mexico is known for diversity and a rich native heritage which has the ability to provide me a new experience full of adventure and learning." Alex Bocian “I am pursuing doctoral work because my professional goal is to become a Physical Education Teacher Education faculty member at a university.” “I was first attracted to UNM because of the faculty. My first interactions with them were so genuine, kind, and welcoming. I felt as if I had known them a long time, rather than just a few minutes chatting on the phone. I selected UNM because I believe it is the program that will best help me to achieve my dream of becoming a professor. I was also impressed by the faculty being willing to help me pursue my research interests even though mine do not directly align with their specific niche. I look forward to growing as a student, teacher, and researcher through this program.” Caitlin Olive “I am pursuing PhD studies to accomplish my professional goal of becoming a Physical Education Teacher Educator. My goal is to prepare future physical education teachers to develop programs that will develop the skills, knowledge, and dispositions students need to be physically active as adolescents and adults. I want to further develop my research and pedagogical skills to better serve pre-service teachers in the future.” “The impressive faculty and staff at UNM is what attracted me to the doctoral program. I firmly believe that the PETE faculty at UNM is up-to-date on the most current research findings in the field. When I visited campus, I had the opportunity to meet several of the faculty members. I immediately felt welcomed from the first moment I arrived. The faculty not only cared about my professional goals, but also my personal goals. UNM is located in beautiful Albuquerque, NM. The weather and geographical features of the area make it easy to be outdoors!” Jason Edwards What can you do with a PHD in PESES with a concentration in Curriculum and Instruction?- Most PhD graduates move on to obtain a position as a PETE faculty member at a teaching or research institution

- Ed.D. Stories
The Doctor of Education in Kinesiology Online (Ed.D. in KIN) at UNC Greensboro is a cohort-based four-year program. It is designed for practicing professionals who have a minimum of three years of experience in kinesiology or related fields. Ed.D. students are focused on professional scholarship and practice in leadership, advocacy, and teaching. Our students address current issues in the field from an applied, interdisciplinary perspective with the goal of becoming action-oriented leaders in kinesiology. Our students, faculty, graduates and others form a community of scholars who positively impact their local communities. For over a century, out department has been a cornerstone department of the University. Beginning as the Department of Physiology and Physical Culture in the Women’s College in 1892, the department took the progressive view that women should be physically active to improve their health and wellness. As the department evolved and grew with the university, our name changed, but our mission to promote education in and instruction of physical health remains at our core. The Words of our Students“The Ed.D. in KIN gave me the tools to be a successful leader and educator in the hybrid/online world and provided me with experiential learning opportunities that directly benefited me in my current job.” – David Wilkenfeld, 2018 Graduate , Assistant Professor of Athletic Training, Director of Clinical Education at Moravian College “A Ph.D. really offers us the ability to look in depth at one focal question without necessarily looking at how outside factors impact a problem. But the Ed.D. program allows us to look at things in a bigger, more holistic way, and that’s really what my interest is,” she explains. “I think this program just really supports people that want to look at research questions that are broader, and that’s really what I wanted to do.” – Dr. LaVerene Garner, 2023 Graduate, Clinical Assistant Professor at Winston-Salem State University Learn more about why Dr. Garner chose the Ed.D. in Kinesiology rather than the Ph.D. “Every course in the Ed.D. program contributed something that I use in my current position. The emphasis on pushing the academy to reward teaching and service, to make learning experiences applicable in our own lives, and to think forward have been especially helpful.” – Erica Bonadio, 2019 Graduate , Department Chair of Exercise Science at Salem College “The Ed.D. in Kinesiology Online Doctoral program is built on a foundation of trust through relationship building, teamwork, discipline, and professionalism. The time spent struggling and succeeding with my fellow students provided real-life teaching faculty, senior administrator touchpoints that will propel me into further professional growth the next 15 years of my career in government service.” – Jason Suby, 2019 Graduate , Director of Assessment, Department of Physical Education, United States Military Academy The Student Experience- The four-year online degree program is cohort-based and requires students to complete a total of 48 credit hours including the dissertation.
