Human Performance
Admission Criteria
The Human Performance Emphasis is intended to prepare students to work in clinical, commercial, corporate, and community health fitness settings. Formal application to the Human Performance Emphasis should be made during the second year of attendance while enrolled in Kins 251 Introduction to Human Performance. This will allow students to begin the two-year course of study during the following semester. The number of students admitted to the program each year is limited by available resources. Not everyone who applies can be guaranteed admission (currently 30 new students are admitted per semester). Program admission will be stratified based on primary interest in one of the four specializations (Sport Performance, Health Promotion, Fitness Management, and Pre-Professional), with the top five candidates being admitted in each area. Additional candidates will then be admitted based on merit regardless of specialization area.
The Human Performance Program Committee will screen students for admission to the program. At the time of application, students must submit:
- a completed program application form and intended plan of study
- a transcript indicating completion of Kins 251, 304, and 308
- a cover letter and resume highlighting qualifications related to human performance
- a student portfolio
Student admission will be based on the following criteria:
- Resident, total, and major GPAs
- Performance in Kins 251, 304, and 308
- Evaluation of student cover letter, resume, and portfolio
