Hello all,
I'm looking to earn my Masters in Kinesiology/Exercise science, and found an accelerated program at Merrimack College, in Massachusetts. I have a few friends that are Kines undergrads that were referred to Merrimack in a newsletter from their advisers - This program seems to be a great fit for me.
I'm wondering how credible this degree will be in the field. Does anybody here know of anybody who has earned this degree/has anybody here had any experience with this institution? I feel like everybody I have spoken to has heard of the name, but does not actually know much about it.
Thanks!
Double edit: everything is fine!
Edit: They're no longer listed as free; it was too good to be true.
This wasn't a part of the TV schedule announcement and isn't noted on the Badgers schedule, but it appears to be legitimate.
I wanted to share this with other Wisconsin fans, especially since Friday's season-opening game is looks good on paper with all the young talent (6 first-round NHL draft picks, plus Holloway who will likely be added to that list) between the two teams, but is only on TV in New England.
Unless there was some mistake, these games are marked as free.
Friday's game: Wisconsin @ Boston College
Saturday's game: Wisconsin @ Merrimack
Both games are at 6 PM CDT.
With their loss to Maine today Merrimack can finish no higher than 9th in hockey east and therefore will not be eligible for an auto bid
Merrimack let go of their best D1 coach in program history last offseason and appear to have taken another step back as a program
Logan Drackett made 28 saves in the shutout win. Forward Elijah Gonsalves got his first collegiate goal and RIT went a perfect 3/3 on the penalty kill and 1/1 on the man advantage. Great night all around! Go Tigers!
I'm curious to know what some people's thoughts about their online M.ED programs.
Thank you

Arena: J Thom Lawler Arena
Opened in 1972, J Thom Lawler Arena is the home of the Merrimack Warriors ice hockey teams. The hockey arena is named for J. Thom Lawler, former coach of the men's hockey team who died in 1978 at age 44, just after leading the team to their national title.
The full athletic center is named for S. Peter Volpe, a member of the college's Board of Trustees and benefactor. His construction company was responsible for the building of the McQuaid Library on campus. His brother, John Volpe, was U.S. Secretary of Transportation under President Richard M. Nixon.
Over the summer and winter break of 2010, extensive renovation was done on the arena. The wooden bench seating was completely replaced with seatback chair seating and a student bleacher section was installed behind the visiting goalie's side. The "tin foil" insulation was removed from the roof as well.
Further renovations occurred in 2012-2013. Thanks to its partnership with the Middlesex Islanders Hockey Club, the Merrimack Athletic Department officially opened its second sheet, Gallant Arena, in late May of 2013. That fall, a brand new lobby opened on the more practical side of the building for entry, along with new bathrooms, concessions, a new space for the school bookstore/merchandise shop, Dunkin Donuts, and a hocke
