ADMISSIONS CRITERIA
The U-M School of Kinesiology considers the following academic factors in determining admission for transfer students:
Number of credit hours completed in transferable course work (please refer to the U-M Transfer Credit Equivalency Search page) by proposed term of entry. Students can transfer up to 70 credits from a four-year school and up to 60 credits from a two-year school (62 credits if you have completed an associate's degree).
Level of achievement in college course work. Admission is highly selective and dependent on spaces available.
Progress towards completion of general degree requirements. Students in Kinesiology must complete coursework in three distribution areas (Humanities, Natural Science, and Social Science).
Academic evaluator/instructor recommendation (please note this is not required of transfer applicants, but may enhance the application during the review process)
Test Scores: TOEFL, IELTS, MET, Duolingo, etc. if English is not your first language. Optional: ACT/SAT (only tests taken as a high school student will be accepted). Students are welcome to self-report test scores directly on application.
*You can apply for a fee waiver in the application if you meet certain criteria. Visit Enrollment Connect to view your application fee waiver status. International students are not eligible for fee waivers.
**Your SAT/ACT test scores must be sent directly from the testing agency and received in our office by our deadline. Rush paper scores are not accepted. Scores from tests taken in October will not arrive in time to complete the application for Early Action. If you have not yet had your scores reported, you can have them sent to us using these links:
