Jimmy Cinnabon Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I thought they had to at least pursue a master's degree but I'm hearing they can take non-degree courses and still wrestle. Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Master's degree is the norm, but you can grad transfer into any post-bacc program, like a professional or grad certificate programs, once you have your undergraduate degree. The NCAA also had a rule that athletes could only transfer if the program isn't offered at their previous school, but I don't think that's still the case. The grad transfer option is definitely abused, esp in D1 basketball and football, but overall makes life better for athletes and schools than worse.

By "the norm" you mean most grad transfers are indeed finishing a master's degree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHROMEBIRD Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Just now, Jimmy Cinnabon said: By "the norm" you mean most grad transfers are indeed finishing a master's degree? Norm, as in most transfer into a Master's program. Years ago, the NCAA found that most of the D1 grad transfers in basketball(?) ended up dropping out right after their eligibility ran out. But again, imo the grad transfer option on balance brings more positive than negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1032004 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Looks like both Iowa and Penn State (and I’m sure many others) offer the opportunity to be a non-degree student. https://admissions.uiowa.edu/apply/nondegree-students https://registrar.psu.edu/enrollment/undergraduate-nondegree-enrollment.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems odd, I'm sure he could have qualified academically for a master's program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that right? Fascinating philosophical argument? some people are in favor of holding kids back in grammar school to get a competitive advantage… #winning Vs a Stanford grad taking pre med courses….. that are not necessarily a masters/grad degree to help with mcat / entrance to med school.

Life sure is funny. Is Woods actually applying to medical school? It’s typical for premed students to take the requisite STEM course while in undergrad. You shouldn’t need to attend grad school for these unless you majored in underwater basket weaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where the med school stuff is from, but last I saw, Woods wanted to be an DO, not an MD. MSU has an osteopathic medicine program so maybe he wants the best of both worlds with a DO degree from MSU while training at CKWC? It would be a huge pain in the ass, but doable. He grew up in an age where kids would travel long and far several times a week to go work out and train with the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the giggling girls (aka "clash of combat") podcast Real said he had desires of going to med school. This was prior to last season so intentions may have changed. I have no idea if he is/was taking STEM classes while in Iowa or what he intends to pursue, if anything, academically at MICH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
