IUPUI Launches Master's Degree Program for Athletic Administrators

In cooperation with the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (NIAAA), the IUPUI Department of Physical Education offers the opportunity to earn a Master of Science degree in Physical Education with an emphasis on interscholastic athletic administration. In order to qualify for this plan of study, the degree seeking student must be a member of the NIAAA and have completed a prescribed number of the NIAAA Leadership Training Courses (LTC’s). For each set of three LTC’s there is an Indiana University graduate course for which these LTC’s are the prerequisite. Upon completion of the appropriate LTC’s, the student is able to register for the “linked” graduate course. Completion of the Indiana University (IUPUI) courses require a series of writing assignments based upon the material taught in the linked LTC’s.

For a list of steps to follow regarding the NIAAA/IUPUI graduate degree connection, go to http://petm.iupui.edu Select Physical Education and then Graduate Program and then highlight Academic Programs and then select HS Sport Administration from the red border. After reading the instructions, then select LTC Registration Form at the bottom of the page. This will lead you to the complete list of LTC’s and information on applying to IUPUI for the degree.

The first course will be offered in Indianapolis in a one-week intensive class to satisfy the first of two IUPUI on-campus “residency requirements” from July 14-18 and tuition for all 36 credit hours will be $300 per credit hour. Contact Bob Lovell at rllovell@iupui.edu for more information.
