The University of Florida and the ATP, the global governing body of men’s professional tennis and the ATP Tour, which features more than 60 professional tournaments in a typical season, have today announced a partnership which offers subsidized in-state tuition for ATP members.
Through the program, ATP players, tournaments, agents, alumni and coaches, will be able to enroll in any of the four online master’s programs and graduate certificate programs offered by UF College of Health & Human Performance (UFHHP). Nationally ranked graduate programs in UFHHP include Applied Physiology and Kinesiology with a concentration in Human Performance, Sport Management, Health Education and Behavior, Tourism and Hospitality Management, as well as a Graduate Certificate in Sport Event Management.
Stephen Farrow, ATP VP Member Services, said: “Our vision is for all ATP members to have professional opportunities open to them beyond their time in tennis. Key to that is offering access to quality education that can work around life on Tour and cater to the different interests and needs of our member groups.”
“UFHHP is looking forward to working with members of the ATP community to help them reach their education and career goals through our online graduate degree programs,” said Chris Janelle, Professor and Associate Dean for Academic and Student Affairs. “We feel that our graduate programs are a natural fit for ATP members, and we will benefit from the experiences they bring to our classes as much as the ATP students will benefit from the expertise of our faculty.”
