Accreditation Status
CAAHEP Accredited Program
The Master of Science degree in Exercise Science has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) at the Clinical Exercise Physiology level. Students completing the Clinical Exercise Physiology concentration or the Applied Exercise Science concentration are strongly encouraged, but not required, to take ACSM’s Clinical Exercise Specialist Exam or the ACSM’s Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist Exam prior to graduation.
American College of Sports Medicine Program Endorsement
The Master of Science Degree in Exercise Science at ULM has been endorsed by the American College of Sports Medicine at the Exercise Specialist level. Students completing the Clinical Exercise Physiology specialization will complete at least 600 hours of clinical experience and complete the ACSM Clinical Exercise Specialist or Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist certification exam.
Program Admission
In addition to the university requirements for admission to the Graduate School, all applicants must present a combined score of 725 on a scale which is found by multiplying their total undergraduate grade-point average by their combined Graduate Record Examination Test score (verbal plus quantitative) in order to qualify for regular admission. Students scoring between 685 and 724 may be admitted conditionally.
Departmental review of applications for the fall semester will begin on February 25 and on September 25 for the spring semester. Your chances for admission are greatest if you apply before this date to allow adequate time for processing and verification of your credentials.
Applicants who hold an undergraduate degree in exercise science from ULM may be allowed to waive the GRE requirement if their cumulative undergraduate GPA is 3.0 or better. All other applicants will be required to submit GRE scores.
