About Master of Accelerated Integrative Physiology

The combined BS Integrative Physiology/MS Kinesiology program will provide exceptional undergraduates with the opportunity to obtain both a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Physiology (BSI.P.) and a Master of Science (MS) in Kinesiology in 5 years, a shorter time than typically required to earn the bachelor's degree plus MS if both degrees are pursued separately. This program has theses and coursework formats.

The application process is the same as for the traditional MS degree except that completion of the BS Integrative Physiology degree is not required. The following requirements must be met before an individual can be admitted into this program:

The student must be seeking the bachelor's degree in Integrative Physiology from the Department of Kinesiology.
The student must have completed 75-90 credit hours toward the BS degree.
The student must have completed the Kinesiology undergraduate core (KIN 220, KIN 310, KIN 335, KIN 336, and KIN 345)
The student's cumulative undergraduate GPA must be at least 3.0.

Since there is some overlap between undergraduate and graduate study, some graduate courses will satisfy the degree requirements of the undergraduate degree. A maximum of 9 graduate credit hours from the MS KIN degree may be counted toward the bachelor's degree in Integrative Physiology. Some additional conditions are:

The student must complete 30 (thesis) or 36 (coursework) graduate credit hours with a graduate GPA of at least 3.0.
The student must complete all undergraduate degree requirements with the exception of 9 credit hours taken at the 600 or 700 level that satisfy the undergraduate and graduate program.
At least 18 of the graduate credit hours on the Graduate Program of Study must be in classes at the 700 level or above.
A student pursuing a thesis format must complete at least 6 credit hours of Master's Thesis (KIN 899).

Once an individual is admitted to the concurrent BS Integrative Physiology/MS KIN degree program, the student should consult the graduate handbook for policies and procedures for graduate degrees, which include: supervisory committee, final examination, thesis defense, etc. The student's supervisory committee must approve the program of study, which is a statement of the student's graduation requirements.

Requirements and Admission Criteria for Master of Accelerated Integrative Physiology at Arkansas State University

Entry Requirements

An applicant to the Graduate School at Kansas State University must have a bachelor's degree substantially the same as the ones granted by Kansas State University. That is, it must represent a broad range of courses in the basic academic disciplines. Applicants whose degrees do not meet these standards may be denied admission to graduate degree programs at Kansas State University. Admission is denied to applicants holding bachelor's degrees with a significant amount of credit for work that was not supervised by a faculty member of an accredited college or university or evaluated in units that identify the academic content. A limited amount of credit for experience, when awarded as an acceptable part of a bachelor's degree for internships, fieldwork, or the like, is not a cause for denial but must be clearly identified as graded work.

All students admitted to the Graduate School must meet the following requirements:

B.1 Graduates from colleges and universities in the United States

a. A bachelor's degree from a college or university accredited by a regional or national institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

b. Undergraduate preparation in the proposed major field equivalent to that acquired by a graduate of Kansas State University, or evidence of an appropriate background for undertaking an advanced degree program, and

c. Cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale or GPA of 3.0 in the last 60 hours of coursework. This GPA is based only on courses graded on a multi-level scale, usually A, B, C, D, F.

B.2 Graduates of foreign colleges and universities

All international students admitted to the Graduate School must demonstrate the same level of achievement as U.S. students. That is, they must hold a degree from an established institution comparable to a college or university in the United States, have an outstanding undergraduate record, have the demonstrated ability to do graduate work, and provide evidence of language proficiency sufficient for the pursuit of a graduate degree. Admission may be denied to students from technical schools, which may provide excellent training in special areas, but do not offer degrees equivalent to those of colleges and universities. Questions about the qualifications of international students should be directed to the Graduate School.
