Especially at the collegiate level, there is a movement toward more rigorous standards and accreditation for strength and conditioning coaches with a focus on injury prevention. This program is designed for those who are interested in assisting athletes at all levels to improve athletic performance and emphasis on primary prevention of injuries.
There are two tracks students may take to prepare for the Master of Science in strength and conditioning.
Accelerated Dual Degree – This curriculum makes it possible for qualified students to complete both a Bachelor of Science in strength and conditioning and a Master of Science in strength and conditioning in less than five years. Students who declare strength and conditioning as their undergraduate major complete liberal arts credits and prerequisites during their first three years, complete the bachelor’s degree and begin graduate requirements in year four, and complete the remaining graduate curriculum, including required internships in the summer and fall of year five.
Traditional – Students follow a traditional four-year undergraduate track, ensuring that any required prerequisites are part of their chosen undergraduate curriculum. Interested applicants may apply for the graduate program as early as their final year of undergraduate study.
Students who choose this program will be highly trained, responsible, focused and intentional professionals who love the Lord their God and love their neighbors as themselves.
