Admission to the program is competitive and based on the student’s prior academic record, graduate record exam (GRE) scores, recommendations, and research interests. Minimum requirements include a GRE score (verbal + quantitative) of 1000, an undergraduate grade point average of 2.6 (master’s) or 3.0 (doctoral), a graduate grade point average of 3.5 (doctoral) and, in the case of foreign students, a score of 213 on the Internet Based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam. Applications from minorities are encouraged. Preference is given to students who have strong backgrounds in biopsychology and exercise science, and who have research interests compatible with ongoing research in the program. Students not admitted into the M.S. program may qualify for admission into the M.Ed. program in clinical exercise physiology. For students interested in an assistantship, admission applications should be completed before February 1.
