How to Apply
Special Application Requirements/Information
While students have come from a variety of fields, the following backgrounds are most appropriate: movement sciences, dance, exercise science, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physical education, athletic training, biology, nutrition, nursing, and psychology. Students with strong academic records, who have deficiencies in their science backgrounds, may be admitted with the understanding that these deficiencies will be remedied with appropriate courses. When possible, it is strongly recommended that prospective students communicate with an academic advisor to discuss program plans prior to admission. Admissions are on a rolling basis and applicants can be accepted in any semester. However, for greatest opportunity for financial support, applicants are encouraged to apply by early January for Fall admissions.
Interviews are required for applicants planning to pursue the doctoral program (these may be done by conference call when extensive travel is necessary). Students intending to pursue doctoral study are strongly encouraged to make an appointment to visit the College for at least one day to meet with faculty and doctoral students, to audit a course or seminar, and to become acquainted with research areas and resources.
We are pleased to welcome a new addition to our faculty, Dr. Carol Ewing Garber.
