The master's degree is 36 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree and many graduate assistantships are available for qualified students. PhD in Health, Leisure and Human Performance, with an option in Leisure Studies Students seeking the terminal degree in Leisure Studies engage in the PhD in HLHP. Those completing this program are well prepared for entry-level positions as faculty members in a wide range of colleges and universities. To facilitate student readiness to work in academia, doctoral students work closely with faculty, engage in coursework and examinations, and participate in opportunities for experiences in teaching, scholarship and service. Core learning experiences include an understanding of curriculum, applied ethics and administration, as well as developing an understanding of the common tripartite mission of most universities - scholarship, teaching, and service. The PhD requires 60 hours of coursework beyond the master's degree; many graduate assistantships are available for qualified students.
