Post Graduate Opportunities

Post-Graduate Opportunities with Guaranteed Seating for Kinesiology Students

The UMES Dept. of Kinesiology has formed articulation agreements with post-graduate schools for placement of students who have graduated from the program. If students graduate from UMES Kinesiology with an Exercise Science Degree or Sport Management Degree and fulfill the graduate program’s specific entry requirements (e.g. GPA, supervision hours, recommendation letters, GRE exam, etc.), UMES students will have guaranteed acceptance in to the program. Each program has a maximum number of seats offered and students will be able to apply to the program by their senior year at UMES.
