Protocol for International Students
The deadline for submitting applications for Spring 2010 admission to the Kinesiology, Sport Administration, or Leisure and Tourism Specializations is November 20, 2009.
The steps in the application process are as follows:
- Read the supporting information carefully as your acceptance into the Master of Education degree is based on aligning your
interests with those of a graduate faculty member in the School. Please research the program specializations and the faculty
expertise and research interests. Detail the specialization you wish to study for and any potential advisor(s) in a 2-3 page
Personal Statement that should also reflect your educational and career goals (This can be e-mailed to Dr. Dawn Anderson at dawna@bgsu.edu).
- Send a current Resume (This can be emailed).
- If you seek funding, complete the enclosed Graduate Assistant Application (This can be e-mailed).
- Make arrangements to take the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). The GRE is required as part of the application process. You cannot be admitted until the Graduate College has received
your GRE scores. Arrange for results to be sent directly to the Graduate College. You might wish to take the computer version
of the GRE at a Sylvan Technology Center.
- Complete the Graduate College on-line application and arrange for two official Transcripts from all universities you have attended, and the Application Fee to be sent directly to the Graduate College, McFall Center, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH 43403-0083.
- Three letters of recommendation are required. The recommendations should attest to your academic accomplishments as an undergraduate
student and predict your potential as a graduate student (e.g., reading, writing, thinking critically, reflecting, intellectual
effort, etc.). Typically, the persons most familiar with your intellectual potential are your professors; hence, recommendations
from professors are preferred. A recommendation from a recent past or present employer is also acceptable as one of the referees.
For HMSLS admission and funding, please do not request recommendations from coaches, athletic trainers, or other individuals who could not directly assess your potential
as a graduate student. Request three individuals who are familiar with your academic abilities to complete a Graduate Student Recommendation Form and send the form directly to the School of HMSLS, Graduate Program, 112 Eppler Center, Bowling Green State University, Bowling
Green, OH 43403-0249. Alternatively your referees can e-mail the form if he/she prefers.
When your application file contains all the necessary documents (Personal Statement, Resume, Graduate Assistant Application, 3 Graduate Student Recommendation Forms, and the Graduate College
have processed your Transcripts, GRE and Fee) the graduate faculty in your area of specialization will evaluate your credentials for admission and funding.
Only when a graduate faculty member selects you as a student will you be admitted to the program and be eligible for funding.
Students whose complete applications are received by January 15 of the year of admission will be given priority in the admission and funding process. Students whose credentials are received after this date will
be considered on a space available basis. Graduate admission usually occurs in early February and graduate assistantships
are usually awarded by the end of March. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at dawna@bgsu.edu. In the meantime, visit our web site at http://www.bgsu.edu/colleges/edhd/hmsls/.
