MS applicants must have a bachelor’s degree in exercise science, nutrition, or a related field from a nationally accredited college or university or its international equivalent.

Preference will be given to applicants whose transcripts show attainment of a minimum overall GPA of 3.0 and completion of the following courses (also with a minimum GPA of 3.0), taken within the past seven years: one year of anatomy and physiology with lab, exercise physiology with lab, chemistry with lab, fitness assessment, and statistics. Students may be required to address deficiencies as a condition of acceptance.
