Admission Requirements
The admission requirements will be unchanged compared to what is currently required for the Master of Science degree programs in the Department of Health and Physical Activity. These requirements include the following:
- Applicants who possess an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science or a closely related field, or who can demonstrate foundational knowledge in key areas (human anatomy, human physiology, exercise physiology, exercise testing and prescription) are admitted to the Master of Science degree program provided that they meet all other School of Education admission requirements.
- Applicants who do not possess an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science or a closely related field, or who cannot demonstrate foundational knowledge in key areas are provisionally admitted to the Master of Science Program provided that they complete coursework in the following areas prior to admission into the Master of Science Program in the Department of Health and Physical Activity (this was previously approved by the University in Spring 2018):
- Human Anatomy
- Human Physiology
- Exercise Physiology
- Exercise Testing and Prescription
