This is the third year that we have collected data for our Sport Administration Program, and based on the data, our graduate faculty members are continuing to work on setting more stringent evaluation methods. To assist with this process, due dates for project and thesis requirements are being evaluated and revised, if necessary. For example, we have formalized official dates for Master’s project proposals to be submitted the semester prior to graduation to ensure sufficient time for feedback and evaluation from faculty 2nd readers of Master’s projects. This year was the 1st year for the comprehensive exams and only one student selected this option. Although no problems were reported, we are continuing to evaluate the timeline/due dates for the comp exams to ensure faculty and students have clear about the due dates and have sufficient time to prepare and grade the exams.
