The program intends to train students who are able to understand reality, identify scientific issues and carry out research projects that contribute to advance the knowledge in Physical Education.

Study Plan
The curriculum of the program is structured to cover two major areas of interest and their respective lines of research. Students are eligible to earn a Master’s degree upon completion of a minimum of 24 credits: 18 credits in mandatory (9 credits) and elective (9 credits) courses that qualify them for the defense of the dissertation, which amounts 6 credits.
Credits earned in mandatory courses that eventually exceed the number of credits required will be counted as elective-course credits, but exceeding elective courses will not be counted in the total credits required for mandatory courses.
Doctorate students must complete a minimum of 42 credits: 15 in mandatory courses, 15 in elective courses e 12 in the dissertation defense. As long as the School Board approves, fifteen (15) out of these 42 credits can be those earned by the PhD student in his/her Master’s Degree Program.
