Graduate Schools for Sport Psychology?

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I'm new here and have recently (over the last couple months) began the process of looking into graduate schools. Currently I'm an undergraduate (Junior, but on a 5 year plan [by choice!]) so I have some time, but I would like to get a start on things. I'm looking for any colleges and universities which offer Sport Psychology programs at the Masters level. I'm primarily looking at schools within the United States, but information on foreign programs would also be appreciated. I've tried using some of the free graduate school search engines but without much success. Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Anyone know of anywhere? Or a good grad school search engine?</p>

<p>There seems to be 3 pathways to sports psychology:

  1. A graduate degree in psychology in which one or more faculty have an interest in this area; in some cases, it might fall under the broader field of health psychology.
  2. A graduate degree in kinesiology/exercise science program that offers a subspecialty in the area
  3. A graduate degree in applied behavior analysis program in which one or more faculty have an interest in this area
    A lot might depend on your undergrad major. Are you majoring in a kinesiology/exercise science program or in a psychology program?</p>

<p>Here are some resources. A place to start might be to check journals and professional organizations to find out the university affiliations of faculty with interests in this area.
