PhD Programs in Sports Studies

A PhD, or Doctor of Philosophy, is a higher education degree awarded to individuals who have demonstrated their mastery in a particular field. To earn such a recognition, students must complete a thesis based on original research.

What is a PhD in Sports Studies? The goal of this program is generally to teach participants how to think methodically and from a multi-paradigmatic perspective on sports and physical education. Courses may focus on teaching participants how to communicate in a professional manner when discussing with their peers and society the scientific, social and cultural implications of physical education. As well as instructors focusing on the merits of physical education, many may teach participants how to teach others about said merits so that they may become ambassadors for health and fitness.

Graduates of this program tend to possess exceptional communication skills and strong methodical and forward-thinking capabilities. It is the job of graduates to communicate the importance of health and fitness on a global scale, which each of these skills may allow them to do effectively.

The cost of a PhD varies greatly. Factors that may affect the total cost of education include location of the school, duration of the program and living expenses.

Graduates may go on to hold job titles such as physical therapist, physical education teacher, nutritionist, motivational speaker, personal trainer and health advisor.
