Coaching Specialization

The Coaching specialization will provide students with foundational knowledge, skills, and theory of coaching.  Courses provide students with a fundamental understanding of the human body and mind. In addition, students gain skills in different team sports and officiating.  This specialization requires a 3-credit coaching-specific internship to put the classroom skills to practice.  

Students completing a major in Exercise Science, a minor in Human Performance, or a minor in Health Promotion are best situated to complete this specialization.
