Adapted Physical Education Graduate Program at UVA

My name is Martin Block, and I am a Professor in Kinesiology at the

University of Virginia. We have a one-year Masters Program in

"Kinesiology for Students with Disabilities." This program targets both

physical educators who are interested in teaching children with

disabilities as well as those students who are interested in becoming a

pediatric physical or occupational therapist.

 

We are actively recruiting for our 2014-15 cohort which starts in the summer of 2014. We feel our program is perfect as a gap year for pre-PT students before they apply to physical

therapy school to give them pediatric experiences and coursework to make

them more competitive when they do apply to physical therapy school.

 

ADMISSION CRITERIA

Applicants should possess a BA/BS degree in

physical education, kinesiology, or exercise

science from an accredited university. Students

must meet the admission standards outlined in the

University Graduate Catalog which includes

demonstrating a high standard of achievement

during their undergraduate work (minimal of 3.0

GPA), competitive Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

scores (149 verbal and 148 quantitative) and two

or more strong letters of recommendation.
