Graduate Exercise Science (MSE)
36 hours
Graduate study in HHPS is designed to enhance the HHPS teaching techniques and to enable the recipient of the MSE degree to:
  1. achieve new and broadened academic competencies through course work.
  2. achieve more effective teaching techniques through methodology courses.
  3. develop competencies in research.
  4. provide professional and academic training for those desiring to teach or administer in HHPS programs at the post secondary level.
  5. understand the impact of science and its relationship to success in HHPS.
Upon completion of fifteen hours, application for candidacy will be made through an oral review with the graduate faculty.  Students will make a request for the oral review to the department chair just prior to the completion of fifteen hours.  Seven weeks prior to graduation each student is required to file for a written exam prepared by HHPS staff.

Admission to Degree Program:

  1. A BS/BA degree from an accredited institution.
  2. Complete the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) with a composite score (Verbal + Quantitative) of 750.  The GRE Analytical Score is used for advisement. Students without GRE scores can be provisionally admitted to the graduate program for one semester.  Further information concerning the GRE exam can be obtained by contacting the Graduate Studies office.
  3. Admission for non-probationary status is a 2.75 undergraduate GPA.  Students who do not meet this requirement may be admitted on probationary status.  Probational students must be approved by the department graduate faculty following completion of nine credit hours.
  4. Students may be required to take certain undergraduate courses if their undergraduate preparation is determined to be deficient by the department chair.
