PGA Golf Management Admission Information
Important Information for Transfer Students
Transfer students will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Regardless of how many hours that you transfer into SHSU, the program will take four and a half years to complete. Approximately 30 hours of completed credit is the maximum to enter into the program. Once a student is over this threshold it would be faster for them to become a PGA Member through the traditional PGA Associate program.
