Qualification Requirements
Admission as a graduate student at ODU does not imply acceptance into the Master of Science in Park, Recreation and Tourism Studies. A program admissions committee-with the Graduate Program Coordinator and at least two other faculty members from PRTS-will meet to consider applications and make determinations regarding acceptance to the program.
Students with previously completed graduate coursework at a regionally-accredited institution may submit a request for a maximum of 12 credit hours to be transferred. Such transfer hours would go through the admission committee for approval, and if approved, added to the transcript. Transfer courses may be accepted for research course requirements or electives, but may not be used to meet core course requirements.
The criteria for acceptance include:
A completed online application via www.odu.edu/admission/graduate A baccalaureate degree from a regionally-accredited institution or an equivalent degree from a foreign institution An overall 2.8 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher cumulative GPA in the undergraduate degree* A GPA of 3.0 or higher in the undergraduate major courses A combined GRE score of 291 or higher (verbal and quantitative sections) or a score of 400 or higher on either the GMAT or MAT* Three letters of recommendation (from former faculty and/or employers)
TOEFL IBT 79 TOEFL Paper-Based 550 IELTS 6.5 overall PTE Academic Test 53
