For work leading to the Master of Science degree with a major in Health, Human Performance and Recreation, a candidate must have a minimum undergraduate grade point average of 2.70, regardless of degree earned. A candidate holding a degree from another discipline must have a 2.70 grade point average in 20 semester hours of acceptable undergraduate foundation credit from an appropriate Health, Human Performance and Recreation field. A grade point average of 3.00 must be maintained throughout the program. Additional requirements include:

• Department interview with either the Graduate Coordinator or Department chairperson
• A written statement of educational goals and objectives
• Two personal letters of reference
• Official transcripts (mailed)

The transcript should clearly indicate:

• all coursework and grades (or marks)
• the degree awarded
• the date the degree was awarded
• the name of the institution where the degree was earned

Please note that a 2.7/4.0 converted grade point average is required for admission to any of our graduate programs.

The Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT) is required only of students who are applicants to the Masters of Business Administration program. It is required of both American and International students.

If the opportunity to take the GMAT is not available in the home country, students may be admitted conditionally with the College of Business approval.

However, if the student does not receive the required GMAT score in the first term of study at Pittsburg State University, he or she will not be allowed full admission to the MBA program and will have to withdraw or select another major.
