Deadlines
A limited number of students will be admitted to each graduate program and these admissions are highly competitive. Although we will review applications through the Spring and Summer (see below for final deadlines for each program), many decisions about financial assistance are made before the final application deadlines, therefore we strongly recommend that you apply before the December 15th deadline. All students are therefore strongly encouraged to submit their application materials as early as possible.
Many decisions about financial assistance are made before the final deadlines for admissions applications. Students applying for Fall semester (late August) admission and who wish to be given priority consideration for departmental financial support should submit all of their application materials no later than the dates listed below. These deadlines apply to all graduate program areas (Exercise Physiology, Health Education, Sport Management, and Movement Science).
Review for fellowships and scholarships begin early in our second semester. These are followed by review for teaching and research assistant positions. Students who wish to be given priority consideration for these offers should submit all of their application materials no later than December 15th. This applies to all graduate program areas (Exercise Physiology, Health Education, Sport Management, and Movement Science) and ensures that the Graduate School will have sufficient time to process your materials for our review.
Students who miss these deadlines may still apply for Fall semester admission, based on the deadlines listed below. However, fewer opportunities for obtaining departmental financial support will be available to students applying by these later dates. Students enhance their chances of being admitted and of obtaining financial support by submitting all of their application materials by December 15th.
Students who wish to be considered for admission should submit all of their application materials (see below) no later than the date listed below for the program to which they are applying:
| May 1 | Sport Management* (see note below) |
|---|---|
| June 1 | Movement Science |
| July 1 | Health Education, Exercise Physiology, Exercise and Sport Psychology, Interdisciplinary Sport Studies, and the General Masters Program |
Students applying for Spring semester (January) admission should submit all of their application materials (see below) no later than October 1 of the preceding year.
* Sport Management Applicants - Masters applicants may only apply for Fall admission. Doctoral applicants may apply for Fall or Spring admissions.
