Admissions Criteria

The U-M School of Kinesiology considers the following academic factors in determining admission for cross-campus students:

• Number of credit hours completed by proposed term of entry. When spaces are limited, priority is given to students entering their junior year.
• Level of achievement in college coursework. Admission is highly selective and dependent on spaces available.
• Progress towards completion of general degree requirements. Students in Kinesiology must complete a minimum of 12 credits in each area of distribution (Humanities, Natural Science, and Social Science).
• Progress towards completion of required coursework in the major area of study. Students applying for Movement Science and Applied Exercise Science are encouraged to complete recommended prerequisite courses to be considered for admission. Students applying for the Sport Management Program should make appropriate progress in the Level 1 courses before applying. View bulletin sections describing prerequisite courses for each major on our Forms and Bulletins page. Choose the program and current academic year from the menu.
