Admission Requirements

Applications for admission to the M.S. in Clinical Exercise Physiology Program are considered on a rolling basis, and those admitted may begin the program in August.

We strongly encourage you to complete your application at least two weeks before your desired start. If you are within two weeks of when you would like to begin the program, don’t hesitate to contact graduateadmission@lvc.edu for assistance, and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Applicants who possess a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university will be considered for admission pending a review of the following requirements:

• Lebanon Valley College graduate online application
• An official transcript from your undergraduate college or university showing a minimum college GPA of 3.00 (on a 4.0 scale) and the completion of the required pre-requisite courses; any applicants not meeting this standard will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
  • Official transcripts should be signed and sealed by the issuing school and mailed to the Graduate Admission Office.
  • Secure, electronic delivery to graduateadmission@lvc.edu is also available.
  • If requesting graduate transfer credit, official transcripts from the relevant graduate institution/s are also required.
  • Institutions outside of the United States must be recognized as a degree-granting institution in its home country. A course-by-course evaluation of all foreign university transcripts by an independent service based in the United States is required. World Education Services (WES) and SpanTran Evaluation Services are two suggested evaluators. Please have your official evaluation sent directly to Lebanon Valley College.
• A personal statement (maximum 500 words) focused on how you will benefit from and contribute to the program, specifically outlining any applicable professional experience.
• A current professional résumé.
• 2 professional or academic references.
  • References will be asked to complete an online reference form provided by LVC. Separate letters of recommendation are not required.
• GRE scores are not required, but applicants may—at their option—submit them for consideration.

Application materials can be uploaded in the Graduate Application Portal, submitted to graduateadmission@lvc.edu, or mailed to:

Transfer Credit

A maximum of 9 credits (a maximum of 6 core credits) may be transferred from another graduate program with the approval of the program director and the registrar.
