Then, during their fifth academic year, students will continue and complete their master’s degree program as normal. 

Admission Requirements:

2. Complete at least 90 undergraduate credits
3. Two letters of Recommendation (If GPA is 3.0 or above, letters of recommendation are not required)

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Many students in the program go on to work with intercollegiate or professional sports teams in coaching or sports management roles, or lead athletic programs in educational or private settings.
