Applying as a Graduate Student
Our graduate programs have different admissions criteria and requirements, application deadlines, term starts, and costs. Please refer to each graduate program’s web page for details on admissions criteria, deadlines, and costs.
The graduate program you are interested in determines what application form you will fill out. For example, students applying for TLU’s Master of Arts in Education, the Master of Business Administration, or the EdD program will use the Graduate Student Application. However, if a student is applying to TLU’s master’s program in Athletic Training, they will use the Athletic Training Centralized Application System (ATCAS).
Master of Athletic Training (MAT): This program has two entry paths for applicants:
Current TLU Students: Traditional college freshmen can earn concurrent degrees in five years – a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a Master of Athletic Training upon graduation. Current TLU students have a different application process (see link above for current students).
Direct Entry Students: Students who already hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university can apply directly to the MAT program as a graduate student.
Anyone interested in TLU’s MAT program must complete their application using the Athletic Training Centralized Application System (ATCAS) and not the Graduate Student Application.

Candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university and be a certified teacher at the start of the program. Use the Graduate Application link on this page to apply.
