The Department of Exercise Science and Physical Education offers a 19-credit coaching minor available to all undergraduate students aspiring to coach children, adolescents or adults in athletic settings. The aim is to provide students with a deep knowledge in the methods of coaching, including instruction methods and coaching techniques, principles, philosophy and a background in the fitness and psychology of athletes. Students will apply their knowledge and skills in a cooperative experience working with a qualified, skilled coach. Rounding their experience, students will be able to gain knowledge through an elective class such as nutrition, advanced coaching techniques, emergency care, social problems in sport or adapted physical education.
