Accelerated Coursework M.S. in Kinesiology
(Transition from B.S. in Sports & Fitness Management)
The flowchart below is a representative sample of how a student might progress from a B.S. in Exercise
Science to a coursework M.S. in Kinesiology within 5 years. It is important to note this is only an example and
projects based on only being available during fall and spring semesters (i.e., no summer semester). In reality
there is tremendous flexibility within both the B.S. and M.S. degrees based on areas of interest and career
objectives, especially when one or two summer semesters are considered. To learn more, talk with your
advisor and/or visit our webpage www.mtu.edu/kip.

Classes highlighted in YELLOW above represent the three classes that can be “double counted” towards both the B.S.
and M.S. degree. A maximum of 6 credits can be applied toward the accelerated M.S., and minimum course grades and
cumulative GPA are required (see website or FAQ sheet for more details).
* While we recommend taking both EH4400 and EH4420, final degree requirements only require one of the two. If
desired, you may substitute one of these courses with a free elective.
** MA 5701 is just one example of the approved statistical courses available to fulfill the statistical requirement of the
Accelerated M.S. degree.
