Coaching Minor
The coaching minor is a great fit for those interested in coaching, or pursuing a
middle school or secondary endorsement in physical education.
An individual not seeking teacher certification may select courses in the Physical Education, Sport & Wellness Department. Such a student might design a program involving supplementary courses from other areas as preparation for a variety of careers. Examples include sportswriting, equipment sales, recreation administration, or exercise science and fitness related professions.
The Coaching minor is designed:
- To provide students with skills, attitudes, and knowledge concerning sports and human movement for enjoyment now and in later years.
