Admission to the MS in Kinesiology is based on several criteria including academic preparation, work experience, and potential contribution to the classroom experience.

Students may be given conditional admission based on gaps in previous knowledge. Conditional admission may require the completion of necessary prerequisite coursework prior to the start of the program.
To be eligible for admission applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher.
