RE: Application for Master¶s Degree in Physical Education

Dear Dr. Chair¶s Name,

It is with great pleasure that I submit my application packet for a Master¶s Degree in
Physical Education in the Department of Physical Performance and Development at the
University of New Mexico. I am currently completing my education in the Bachelor of
University Studies at UNM, with one of my emphasis in the area of Exercise Science.

I believe the Physical Performance and Development Exercise Science Master¶s Degree
offers me the greatest opportunity to expand my education in some very meaningful areas
of interest. My career interests lead me towards an avocation of exercise science, cardiac
rehabilitation and fitness prescription. I want to be very involved in improving the quality
of lives of those individuals I have the opportunity to help. I also feel the faculty at the
University of New Mexico is most qualified to help me attain my goals.

I see UNM as a wonderful next step for me in attaining my ambitions. I thank you for the
opportunity to submit this application for your consideration. Please contact me if there is
anything else I need to provide. I look forward to communicating with you in the near
future.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Dieruf,

I am very interested in the physical therapy program at the University of New Mexico. I
volunteered over 220 hours at the Veterans Administration Hospital (2001- 2002), which
gave me the opportunity to experience and enjoy several different aspects of the physical
therapy field. I am currently completing my undergraduate degree in exercise science,
which I feel will enhance my abilities as a therapist.

My volunteer background has included the following: wound care, rehabilitation exercise
programs, and spinal cord injury and mobility impaired patients in the therapy pool. I also
gained experience in patient rehabilitation in the areas of knee and hip replacement surgery.

My bachelor¶s Degree in Exercise Science has provided me with the knowledge of exercise
testing, EKG interpretation, fitness assessment and prescription, anatomy, and kinesiology.
I have also taken courses that involved special populations, such as people with disabilities
and the elderly.

The UNM physical therapy program came highly recommended by graduate students and
physical therapists that I have talked with, and that the curriculum is outstanding. Through
my research on deciding which school to attend I found that the New Mexico School of
Medicine is one of the top in the nation. I would be proud to be a student in the UNM
physical therapy program.

Through my volunteer work at the VA Hospital I have developed a compassionate approach


and commitment to assisting people with medical and physical disabilities I would enjoy
becoming a physical therapy student and look forward to speaking with you in the near
future. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Lynette Ewer
