Accelerated Master's Degree in Sport and Recreation Management

Undergraduate Students at UM that are interested in graduate study in Sport and Recreation Management can get a head start through the Accelerated Master's Degree Program.

Undergraduate students who would like to apply for the Accelerated Master's Degree Program must meet the following requirements: 

  • 3.0 minimum GPA
  • 90 completed credit hours as an undergraduate

Number of credit hours a student can earn towards a graduate degree while completing their undergraduate studies: 

  • 12 credit hours

Courses undergraduate students in the Accelerated Master's Degree Program can take to earn credit towards their graduate degree: 

  • SRA 511 Applied Statistics

  • SRA 580 Recreational Therapy for Older Adults
  • SRA 503 Data Analytics Methodologies

Remember: Students who fail to reserve 500-level courses for graduate credit at the time they take the course will not receive graduate credit for the course (graduate level work must be completed to earn graduate credit). 

  • Reserving graduate credit with 500-level courses is required to ensure the Graduate School and instructor know the student must complete graduate credit requirements for the course. 
  • Students cannot later claim graduate credit for 500-level courses if they did not take the appropriate steps to notify the Graduate School prior to taking the course.
