Admission Requirements

In addition to meeting the requirements for admission to a degree program stated in the current Graduate Catalog, the applicant for enrollment in the program leading to a Master of Science in Education in Recreation should present the following:

1. Official transcripts documenting a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.

2. Applicants are generally required to have an undergraduate cumulative grade point average of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale. However, circumstances including, but not limited to, endeavors following completion of a bachelor's degree and performance in the last two years of a bachelor's degree program will be considered in reviewing applications from students with lower grade point averages. Students who feel they are qualified in spite of an undergraduate grade point average below a 2.8 are encouraged to contact the department before applying for admission.

3. A resume.

4. A one- to two-page statement of the applicant's educational and professional goals.

5. Name and address of three references.

6. If the applicant lacks substantial academic background in recreation, three to 12 hours of prerequisite course work may be required in addition to the degree requirements.
