Admission Requirements
Applications for admission to the Master of Science (M.S.) in Physical Education Program in the Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences are made to the Graduate Admissions Office. Admission is based on a comprehensive review of multiple criteria, including the following:
- Bachelor's Degree from an accredited institution.
- Undergraduate grade point average of 2.75.
- Two letters of recommendation addressing the applicant’s potential to succeed in the teaching profession and in graduate work.
- A brief typed statement indicating the applicant’s interest in the program, and identifying any previous physical education teaching experience or sport involvement.

The faculty of the Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences recognize that any single criterion may not reliably predict a candidate's potential for success in a graduate program and in the teaching profession. Accordingly, candidates are welcome to apply if they do not meet one of the criteria but believe that other aspects of their experience may compensate.
