Get Started – Starts Each Summer Term
Recommended Application Deadline
The recommended application deadline is April 15. Additional students can be admitted after that date if space is available. Please contact the Program Coordinator if you are applying after the deadline.
Certificate applicants: There is no 2024 application deadline for certificate students who wish to start the certificate in 2024. Though fall 2024 is the first term available for official admission to this new program, we highly recommend that certificate students begin their coursework in summer 2024. Please contact the Program Coordinator for approval, and they can assist you with the process for registering for summer coursework. You will then also apply to the certificate, choosing a fall 2024 start term.

Thank you for your interest in this UNC graduate program! You will complete the UNC Graduate School application and then submit additional materials. Please review the Eligibility section of the Program Summary page prior to application.
U.S. applicants (outside of Colorado) for online programs: please be sure to check your eligibility by state of residence.

On the application, choose the following program:

Request academic or professional letters of recommendation (1 for certificate applicants; 2 for master's degree applicants) from those who can attest to your academic potential and abilities. You will be asked to supply contact information for your recommenders in the application.

If you are unable to complete your application in one session, you can log back in to your application later to complete it. The application fee process will appear once you submit your application.

You will then continue in the system (or log into the Admissions Portal) to complete the following:
All applicants will need to request one official transcript from each regionally accredited college or university where a bachelor's degree or higher was earned (or is in progress). Some applicants may need to provide additional transcripts. Situations that require this are listed on the Graduate School website (choose Domestic or International). Directions for having your official transcript(s) sent are listed in the Application Portal.

Personal Statement indicating your background and career goals relevant to your Sport Coaching graduate program.

Current Resume or Curriculum Vitae.
The application portal will also show you which of your recommendations have been completed.
GRE scores are NOT required for this program.
Once you apply to the UNC Graduate School and your application packet is complete, your application will be reviewed by the graduate school then sent to the faculty/program for an admission decision. The timing of the admission decision depends on each individual program’s deadline and review process.
