Student Funding

The UNO Sports Medicine and Biomechanics Lab primarily operates on a self-funded model for master's and doctoral students pursuing research and advanced degrees. Most students are responsible for securing their own funding, whether through personal resources, external scholarships, or grants.

Occasionally, graduate assistantships or other funding opportunities may become available. These opportunities are limited and are typically awarded based on research needs, faculty recommendations, and available financial resources. When such opportunities arise, they will be shared with enrolled students through official departmental communication channels. Students are encouraged to explore external funding sources, including fellowships, research grants, and scholarships, to support their academic and research endeavors.

Master of Arts in Athletic Training

Athletic Trainers are Allied Healthcare Professionals who work with physically active populations to prevent, evaluate, and treat injuries and illnesses. The UNO Athletic Training Program (ATP) is an entry-level athletic training education program, intended for students that have completed a prior bachelor's degree but are not eligible to take the Board of Certification Examination. Successful completion of this program provides the eligibility to sit for the Board of Certification Examination. Students take coursework and engage in clinical education opportunities to apply their skills in various athletic training settings.

Master of Science in Biomechanics

The program is designed to allow students to be competitive for the vast number of jobs available in prosthetic laboratories, rehabilitation facilities, robotics, equipment apparel design or research, biomedical research and many others. It can also help students move towards advanced graduate education, medical degrees and many other opportunities. Learn more about the concentration in Sports Biomechanics.

Doctor of Philosophy in Biomechanics and Kinesiology

Based on the physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, motor control and development, and psychosociology of human movement, the Exercise Science doctoral program is aimed at improving movement function and physical activity level using evidence-based approaches through interdisciplinary clinical and translational research. A problem-solving approach is used across the age and health spectrum for disease prevention, health enhancement, physical rehabilitation, and exercise motivation. The degree offers concentrations in Biomechanics, Motor Development and Control, Physiology of Exercise, and Physical Activity. Learn more about the concentration in Biomechanics
