The Recreation Program has a rolling application.  Once your file is complete, the faculty will review your application.  However, note that one must first be admitted into the MS in Recreation program before one can be considered for a graduate assistantship (that deadline is March 1).

Note: 

• The MS in Recreation DOES NOT require a GRE or MAT test (however, be aware that if you apply for any various university fellowships that a GRE may be required)
