Masters in Motor Control
Overview
The primary purpose of the motor control program is to prepare scholars to plan and conduct research in the area of motor learning and control. A core of research-oriented classes and continuous involvement in research projects prepares the student with research skills necessary for advancement to doctoral level degrees. Students in the motor control program are encouraged to take courses offered through the Program in Neural Science and the Department of Psychology to further enhance their understanding of the discipline. In the Motor Control Master of Science program a thesis is required.
