The Department of Exercise and Sport Science offers a M.S and Ph.D. with a specialization in Exercise Physiology.

Application Process:

The application deadline for Fall admission is January 15th of each calendar year for students who want to be considered for graduate assistantships. Applications will be accepted after the January 15th deadline; however, candidates are at a competitive disadvantage after this time. In addition, applications for Spring admission will be considered, however, it is unlikely that graduate assistantship funding will be available at this time.

Application Materials to be Completed and Submitted Directly to the Graduate School:

Students are encouraged to follow the Graduate School Application Guidelines for the most up to date requirements located at the Graduate School webpage.

1. Traditional students submit the Graduate Application for Admission to the UNCG Graduate School. International students submit the International Graduate Application for Admission to the UNCG Graduate School.
2. Non-Refundable Application fee ($45, check or money order, made payable to UNCG.)
3. Two official transcripts from every college and university where the student previously completed course work, even if the courses from one school appear on the transcript of another.
4. Three recommendations submitted by the student in sealed envelopes using the official UNCG recommendation form . References should be submitted from persons who can attest to the student's academic competence or ability to do graduate work.
5. Residency statement (for applicants claiming North Carolina residency).

1. Completed Financial Certification Form (and Affidavit of Support, if appropriate).
2. Official final transcripts (or notarized translations if original is not in English) for the undergraduate degree and any graduate studies.
3. Official record of TOEFL scores (for non-native English speakers). The minimum acceptable TOEFL scores is 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based); having the minimum score alone does not guarantee admission.
