The Sports Management and Sports Management Coaching Concentration begins a new cohort each fall semester.

Priority Deadlines

The priority deadline for applications is January 15 with an additional deadline of May 15. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis through August 1.  

Applications are reviewed upon the completion and submission of all application materials. Students applying for graduate assistantships and international students are strongly encouraged to apply by the January 15 deadline. Applications received after May 15 will be considered on a space-available basis. 

Application

When applying for a master's program, the School of Graduate Studies serves as a liaison between the applicant and the master's program. Application materials are completed online and processed by the School of Graduate Studies.

Once all application materials are received and reviewed, Graduate Studies will forward materials to the program faculty for review. Program faculty may request a follow up session or informal interview. Thereafter, an admission recommendation will be forwarded to Graduate Studies with the final decision submitted by the Dean of Graduate Education and you will be notified within 2-3 business days.
