The Master of Arts (MA) in Sport-Exercise Psychology Program is designed to
educate and train students to function as capable and ethical performance
enhancement specialists. Currently offered only at Argosy University/Phoenix,
this two-year degree is intended to meet the needs of students seeking
employment in a variety of settings, including private practice, athletic
departments, coaching, exercise/health, and education, as well as those who will
ultimately pursue a doctorate degree.
The goals of the program include
developing student competencies in the following areas: theoretical foundations,
helping relationships, individual and group skills, normal and abnormal
behavior, sport sciences, research and evolution, diversity, and professional
identity.
