There are two streams to the program, Sport Management and Applied Human Performance: both streams include a thesis option which normally will lead to doctoral work. The Sport Management Stream also offers course work and a Sport Management internship, which is designed to serve as an enrichment experience.
1) In addition to the general admission requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research outlined in 1.3 and 1.6.1, the following are employed in the determination of a candidate's admission status:
(a) A student must have a faculty research advisor before being admitted into one of the following areas of specialization:
i) Applied Human Performance
ii) Sport Management
(b) A person who holds a three-year degree in another discipline is required to complete the requirements for the Master's degree as outlined in the Graduate Calendar. Up to ten kinesiology undergraduate courses beyond the minimum requirement may be deemed necessary by the departmental admission committee.
Normally, the makeup courses are to be selected from the areas of specialization: Applied Human Performance and Sport Management. Further, a minimum of two courses are to be taken from each area of specialization.
Undergraduate courses, assigned at the discretion of the admissions committee and the student's advisor to form the make-up requirements, may be found in the Undergraduate Calendar (see 9.4).
1) In addition to the general requirements for the Master's degree, the candidate must:
(a) complete a minimum five graduate-level courses and a thesis, or substitute a minimum of three graduate-level courses and an internship;
(b) pass an oral examination based on a thesis;
2) Only one Special Problems (95-510) course may be taken regardless of area of specialization.
3) Master's Committee and Advisors: Prior to a candidate's initial registration, the Head of the Department will assign a program advisor for each candidate.
The faculty research advisor may or may not act as chairperson of the Master's thesis committee, which will include at least two additional members, one of whom shall belong to a department outside the Faculty of Human Kinetics. An additional member from the graduate faculty of another university may be invited to serve on the Master's thesis committee.
4) Examinations
(a) Thesis Stream: The thesis committee will conduct the oral examination of the thesis proposal. When the thesis has been completed, the thesis committee, in consultation with the candidate, will determine whether to proceed with or postpone the final oral examination. The grade on the written thesis shall be worth sixty percent (60%) of the final grade. For the final oral examination of the thesis, the committee will be supplemented by another member of the Kinesiology graduate faculty who will act as the chairperson. Following the successful defense, the candidate will deposit all copies of the thesis in the Office of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research for binding and distribution (two copies for the Leddy Library, a copy to the Faculty of Human Kinetics).
(b) Sport Management Internship Option: The sport management internship consists of a minimum of 360 hours of applied work experience in a sport management setting. The internship option is open exclusively to sport management students who have completed four graduate courses. Students develop an internship experience in conjunction with a graduate faculty member from the sport management program prior to registering for the internship. Students are required to complete the "Internship Objectives Form" prior to completing 50 hours of their experience. Their work experience is supervised and evaluated (mid-term and final evaluation) by the cooperating field professional. Students are also required to prepare and defend a research report. Final evaluation is on a Pass/Non-Pass basis and the student is required to pass both the experience and the research report components of the internship. Following the successful completion, the candidate deposits two copies of the internship and research report in the Department of Kinesiology.
The following summaries of requirements apply to thesis and sport management internship options.
The program focuses on the application of movement science in sport, the workplace, and activities of daily living. Students pursue course work and thesis research that examines the basic and applied principles of human biomechanics, motor performance and exercise physiology. To fulfil the degree requirements, each candidate must complete the following:
1) Required level courses: 95-523, 95-524, 95-525, 95-526, 95-527.
2) A Thesis (95-797).
The program focuses upon the understanding of the components of organizational behaviour in the context of amateur and professional sport environments. Students will pursue course work and either thesis research or an internship that focuses on topics such as leadership, organizational effectiveness, sport marketing, organizational change, and legal, philosophical and social issues of management. To fulfil the degree requirements, each candidate must complete all of the following:
1) Four courses from 95-500, 95-501, 95-502, 95-503, 95-504, 95-505.
2) One graduate course chosen from the Department of Kinesiology, or a cognate department.
3) A Thesis (95-797).
1) Required courses: 95-500, 95-501, 95-502, 95-503, 95-504, 95-505.
2) Two graduate cognate courses.
3) Internship (95-795).
All courses listed will not necessarily be offered in any given term. All courses are three hours a week unless otherwise noted.
A survey course using the current research and literature relating to leadership in administrative environments. Several leadership theories will be reviewed and analyzed. Various models of leadership will be discussed relative to the sport administration environments.
An analysis of the research and professional practice related to the role of legislation and litigation as they relate to sport and physical activity programs and services and participation. Specific emphasis will be placed on the issue of human rights, covering topics including legislation and case study analyses from the sport management domain.
An analysis of the interdependent nature of the social/psychological components of organizational behaviour. Special reference will be made to individual and group behaviour in terms of the organizational effectiveness of sport organizations.
An analysis of the research and literature related to the marketing of sport and physical activity programs and services. Specific emphasis will be placed on the review and application of sport marketing research, an overview and application of the related marketing terms and the development of a marketing plan for a sport organization.
This course examines the philosophical foundations upon which sport management decisions are made. Particular emphasis will be placed upon the role of moral valuation and moral reasoning in the conduct of ethical sport management practice. Traditions in moral theory will form the basis for investigations of issues such as social research involving human subjects; honesty in sport marketing, sport information, finance, and human resources; and international responsibility in global sport culture.
Sport managers operate within a social world. This course examines current social issues and their implications for sport managers. Issues include the impact of various institutions on sport management (e.g., sport, government, economics, media, education), as well as the relationship between sport management and various power relations in society (e.g. race, gender, class, age, and physical ability).
Independent study conducted under the advisement of a graduate faculty member. This course cannot be used as a review of literature for thesis. (Prerequisite: consent of program committee.)
This seminar/lecture course will focus on the application of biomechanics concepts and measurement techniques in the study of human performance. Specific topics will reflect the interests of students and may include areas such as sports, locomotion, activities of daily living, and equipment testing and design.
This seminar/lecture course will focus on applications of human performance biomechanics in the work place. Special emphasis will be placed on theoretical and practical methods of assessing work place efficiency and effectiveness while considering the comfort and safety of the worker.
This seminar/lecture course will examine the learning processes involved in skill acquisition. Different theoretical approaches will be used to examine the learning of motor tasks by novices and experts and contrast that with the acquisition of motor skills in children. In lab/field settings students will carry out task analysis and acquire movement observation/analysis skills.
This seminar/lecture course will examine the perceptual, cognitive, and neurophysiological aspects of human motor control. Different theoretical and methodological approaches will be examined and applied to the understanding of functional movements in the home, workplace, and sporting environment. Changes in the control of movement in special populations will also be examined.
This seminar/lecture course will examine the acute response and chronic adaptive nature of selected physiological systems directly related to human movement. Specific topics will reflect the interests of students and may include areas such as temperature regulation and fatigue as well as current topics of interest in human movement.
A review and appraisal of qualitative and quantitative research methods with special reference to design, data collection, analysis and generalization. (Prerequisite: 95-270 or consent of instructor.)
