Admission Requirements
- Graduate School application and $40 fee

- Successful completion of a bachelor's degree prior to enrollment
- Undergraduate GPA of at least 2.75 (A=4.0)
- Only courses in which the student earned a grade of “B” or better will be considered for transfer credit.
Program application materials may be uploaded during the application process, but official transcripts must be sent directly from the school attended, and test scores must be verifiable with the appropriate testing service. Please contact the Graduate Admissions office with questions regarding the application submission process at graduateadmissions@siue.edu.
Admission may be granted to applicants who have a bachelor’s degree and meet the aforementioned criteria, although any prerequisites necessary to study in a particular specialization are at the discretion of the program advisor.
Selection for admission is determined by the graduate faculty in the Department of Applied Health. The student’s GPA and coursework content from previous professional preparation will be used to determine qualifications for entrance into the program.
Students are eligible to apply for the physical education and sport pedagogy program if they are certified or are certifiable to teach in the public schools. The master’s program includes a balance of technology-assisted on-campus courses (fall, spring and summer). Normal time to completion is approximately two years. Practical application of research-based and developmentally appropriate teaching practices is emphasized by the program. No more than nine graduate hours may be taken toward the master’s as an unclassified graduate student.
Review the SIUE Admissions Policy for more information.
