NIAAA and Indiana State Team Up To Offer Masters Degree

INDIANA STATE UNIVERSITY AND

NATIONAL INSTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATOR ASSOCIATION

Proudly Announce the Delivery of a New Master of Science in Sport Management opportunity articulating the NIAAA-LTI courses with ISU graduate coursework …

Effective January 2012 the Department of Kinesiology, Recreation, and Sport began the ISU –NIAAA Articulated Online Master’s degree in Sport Management. The NIAAA is the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association. This program is open to only practicing interscholastic athletic directors (high school or junior high school, or middle school) and associate/assistant athletic directors who are members of the NIAAA.

The steps to enter the program are as follows:

1. Apply to the ISU College of Graduate and Professional Studies for the Master of Science degree in Sport Management. You will need to pay an application fee and submit all transcripts of college work from every institution you attended. The minimum gpa is a 2.75 on a 4.0 Scale in your major field of study. No references are required nor a statement of philosophy. You may apply any semester or during the summer. ISU’s Department of Kinesiology, Recreation, and Sport has a rolling admission policy.
2. Upon acceptance into the program the student will be able to transfer credits from other accredited graduate programs that are equivalent to ISU requirements with grades of a “B” or better. Further, the student will also be able to transfer LTI courses to ISU as well. For every three LTI courses (see articulated course matrix) the student will be provided credit for an ISU course. The total number of transfer credits allowable is nine (9).
3. Students can also gain credit toward ISU courses through “Previous Learning Assessment” up to nine (9) hours. This is accomplished by completing the three LTI courses articulated to an ISU course and passing a comprehensive examination with 80% or better jointly prepared by ISU and the NIAAA. The student will be charged for the test administration and tuition at the rate of 25% of the in-state tuition fees.
4. The remaining 18 credits required for the degree will be completed through distance education.
5. The internship course and research project will also be completed through distance education in consultation with the Graduate Coordinator.
6. The total cost of the program without transfer credits or Credit-by-Examination will be approximately $16,776. If the student transfers nine (9) credits and completed nine (9) credits through Credit-by-Examination the cost would be approximately $9,498. It is important to remember these cost figures are estimates and could be slightly higher or lower.
7. Students have seven years to complete the Master’s degree from the semester they begin.
