Master of Arts in Education in Human Performance and Sport Sciences - Sport Administration

The Master of Arts (M.A.Ed.) in Education in Human Performance and Sport Sciences is a program of study for those interested in applying scientific approaches to the training of athletes at all levels (e.g. recreational, high school, college, professional) and those interested in working in the sports industry.

Areas of study include physiology, psychology, epidemiology, special populations, aging and wellness, sports nutrition, sports marketing, sports finance, sports governance and policies, sports law, and leisure. Students in HPSS can choose an emphasis in Exercise Science or Sport Administration.

Unconditional admission to the program requires the applicant to have a bachelor\u2019s degree from an accredited four-year college or university, an undergraduate cumulative GPA of 2.5 or better on a 4.0 scale with a minimum score of 137 on the Verbal Reasoning, and a minimal score of 138 on Quantitative Reasoning sections of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Unconditional admission may be gained with a lower grade point average, but the GRE or MAT score must be correspondingly higher. If the undergraduate GPA is between 2.25 and 2.49, the GRE score must be 145 on the Verbal Reasoning section and 146 on the Quantitative Reasoning. If the GPA is between 2.0 and 2.24, the GRE score must be 149 on the Verbal Reasoning and 150 on the Quantitative, or the MAT score must be 394. Applicants with less than a 2.5 undergraduate GPA must submit test scores at the time of application; applicants with a GPA of 2.5 or above may submit test scores in the first semester of attendance, but it is preferable that the submit test scores at the time of original application. The student must remove conditional status by earning at least a B (3.0) average in the first nine hours of graduate courses; failure to achieve this average will result in withdrawal from the program. Candidacy cannot be attained until the full requirements for unconditional admission are met. IELTS - 6.0, TOEFL - 71 (Internet-based Test), 525 (Paper Test), Duolingo test - 95
