肯德拉·坎贝尔，硕士2023

"With the goal of implementing less harmful practices and more inclusion for participation in physical activity my time in this program has provided a newfound confidence in my ability to take on challenges bigger than myself. 通过一个关键的镜头，这 program has challenged me to find ways where I and the industry as a whole can do 对他们的运动员和客户更有利."

马特·冈萨雷斯: MA 2017; Current PhD student at West Virginia

"The 运动的研究 graduate program at 圣何塞州立大学 is where you can expect to find nothing short of unflagging support and dedication from faculty in 追求你选择的最终目标. For me, that was trying to build a wide-ranging breadth of experience that could compete with others around the nation for admission into 质量Ph值.D. 项目.

I can happily say that I achieved that goal with admission into West Virginia University’s Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology Ph.D. program; but that absolutely would not have been possible without the effort invested into my education by every一个 at 圣何塞州立大学. Whether it was engaging with innovative approaches in qualitative inquiry for my thesis or supporting my entree into applied sport psychology work; I could always count on the 运动的研究 faculty to back me up so long as I was willing 完成工作. If jumping into the field of sport psychology or sport sociology is where your interest lies, you would be extremely well advised to consider this program!"

Dr. Michael 刀: MA 2013
