Summary

1. Most graduate sbhools of physical education require the equivalent
of their own undergraduste major as 2 prereguisite to graduate work,
but 2 few of these required undergraduate courses may be carricd while
the student is doing graduate work. These prerequisites include both
background and allicd subjects as well as physical eduention subjects.
Therefore, it would be wise for the undergraduate to prepare himself
for graduate work in « certain school by following, in gencral, the
undergradunte work in the physical education curriculum of that schoole
2. Many graduate schools of physical education allow substitution of
courses or experience in physical education for certain prercquisitcs.
Thus, in submitting records in making applic-tion for entrance in
graduate work, it is imoortant to state a description of cach under-
graduate course and an outline of all experience in physical cducation.
3. In order to te atle to enter all of the selected graduate schools
without having to carry further undergraduate work along with the
graduate curriculum, the student would have to heve the following
prerequisites: A bachclor's Acgree with a scholestic standing better
than average from an sacercdited (approved) institution of higher
learning with an undergraducte major in physical cducation of 36
semester hours, rlso 18 semester hours of education, 6 of which are
junior-senior courses. He must posscss a good background of personal
hygicnie living, experienec in competitive sports, camping, cnd other
