A late transfer may require a student to attend summer sessions or defer graduation. However, most degree programs are much more competitive than this. Additionally, the student must have a minimum GPA of 3.00 in the specific requirements of the major and selected exercise science courses that have been completed by that time, with no grade lower than a C- in any of those courses. Transfer into athletic training, fitness and cardiac rehabilitation, sport management, and sports information and communication is limited to available openings and is highly competitive. Because this is a freshman-entry program, openings for transfer students are few and highly competitive.
Early transfer is encouraged.
Students transferring at the end of the sophomore year must take Introduction to Occupational Therapy and Human Development I and II in their junior year, if they have not already taken equivalent courses. Because this is a freshman-entry program, openings for transfer students are highly competitive. A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 is required and a B or better in all natural science course work is expected. Specific information on transfer admission requirements, including those for clinical experience, non-native speakers, and letters of recommendation, is available from the Office of Admission and the Department of Physical Therapy. Transfer after the first semester of the sophomore year may extend the student's program of study by at least one year.
