The application deadline for consideration of all EXSS specializations for the upcoming Fall semester is Tuesday, January 9th, 2024. We do not accept applications for Spring semester. Please note that GRE scores are no longer required in order to apply.


The application process has two major components:

  1. Completion of the application form required by the UNC Graduate School.
  2. Completion of the application forms required by the Department of Exercise & Sport Science and your area of specialization.

Please take particular note of the following very important items!

  • All required forms – both those required by the Graduate School and the Department of EXSS – must be uploaded/submitted to the GRADUATE SCHOOL – not to EXSS.
  • Do not  send, upload, or submit any completed forms to the Department of Exercise & Sport Science.
  • IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COMPLETE ALL FORMS BEFORE “CLICKING” THE SUBMIT BUTTON.  After you click the SUBMIT button you will NOT be able to access your application to make revisions and/or to add forms you failed to submit.
