Curriculum
This program offers a broad curriculum including courses in philosophy, law, psychology, sociology, administration, motor behavior, exercise physiology, and history. It matches the needs and interests of the students with the strengths of the faculty. The curriculum is primarily geared toward those interested in teaching and coaching at the elementary, secondary and collegiate levels. There are also opportunities for those wishing to combine teaching and coaching with administrative duties within similar educational settings.
The 30-unit course of study leads to the Master of Arts degree in Sport Studies, and there are two ways of completing the degree requirements.
