  • A formal statement of personal goals for the program, maximum 2 pages, double-spaced, that includes the following:
    • Your experience in the field, including volunteer experience.
    • Your reason(s) for choosing this degree program.
    • Your experience with research (if applicable).
    • Your career goals and how furthering your education with this degree will help you realize these goals.
  • Two references (preferably from academic sources). References should include both the rating form and a separate letter on letterhead should also be uploaded from each reference.
  • Resume or curriculum vitae should include the following when applicable: education, experience (work and volunteer), certifications, professional affiliations, special skills related to the field, and research presentations/publications.
  • A student may transfer up to nine semester hours of graduate credit from other nationally accredited institutions. To be transferred, coursework from other institutions must correspond to 网红头条's MS in Exercise Science curriculum. The student must provide course description and syllabus for consideration and the amount of credit granted will be at the discretion of the program director. A minimum grade of B must have been received in the course and the course work must be no more than five years old. Please see the graduate Program Director to begin the transfer process.
  • Effective Fall 2020 admissions, the GRE is no longer required for admission consideration, but remains as optional.

MS in Exercise Science Curriculum

Effective Fall 2022, all students take 21 hours of an Exercise Physiology concentration, electives (3-6 hours), and conclude with a capstone experience (3-9 hours).  The curriculum is designed to be flexible to meet the unique career goals of students. The program focuses on the physiological responses/adaptations to exercise through laboratory-based activities and exposure to research investigation.
