Per an agreement reached between NC State and the PGA of America, the College of Natural Resources will continue to support our current students through a teach-out model for the PGA Golf Management University Program. Current students will have the opportunity to complete the program at NC State, encompassing classroom courses, internships, player development experiences, and progression toward PGA membership. As part of the teach-out, we will not accept any new students into the concentration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s important to note that students who fall behind in the structured degree plan will be dropped from the PGM concentration. However, should this situation arise, students still have the opportunity to continue their Bachelor of Sport Management or explore other degree programs at NC State through the CODA application process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The College of Natural Resources is committed to providing the necessary resources and support to continue delivering high-quality education to our students. We are working closely with the PGA to make every effort to ensure that students meet the requirements to remain with their cohort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Robb Wade, Director of NC State\u2019s Professional Golf Management Program, will continue to work with each student individually to help keep them on track and provide personalized counsel and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Students with questions <\/strong>or who need support can contact Dr. Wade at rwwade@ncsu.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For students who fall behind, the option to continue progress toward PGA membership through the PGA’s Associate Program will be accessible. The PGA Education team stands ready to assist; students are encouraged to reach out to the PGA mentor line at 866-866-3382, option 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you to our community for your patience as we worked out the details of this plan with the PGA. We’re thrilled to have reached this agreement, and we remain committed to supporting students every step of the way as they progress through the program toward graduation and PGA membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All students who are currently part of the PGM concentration will have the opportunity to complete classroom courses, internships and player development experiences to become NC State graduates and members of the PGA of America. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There will be no individual effects on any person except in the case of a student falling out of a cohort. There will be no opportunities to join another cohort so a student who falls behind will be removed from the PGM concentration but will be able to finish their Sport Management degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your academic advisor can help you with this transition. Students who drop out of the PGM concentration will remain eligible to continue their progress toward a Bachelor of Sport Management or to pursue another degree program at NC State through the CODA application process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Students who fall behind will also have the option to continue progress toward PGA membership through the PGA’s Associate Program. PGA Education is happy to work with any impacted students. Students may contact the PGA mentor line at 866-866-3382, option 6 for further clarification and guidance on how to proceed toward PGA membership. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
