Strength and Conditioning Graduate Certificate

The Strength and Conditioning Graduate Certificate is designed for post-baccalaureate students who want to become a certified strength and conditioning professional or want to learn more about the human body as it pertains to sport performance. Many sport coaches (middle school, high school, and college level) are required to design and implement strength and conditioning programs for their sport teams without much, if any, experience in the area of physiology and sport performance. The result is often a poorly designed training program, which ultimately could lead to injuries, over training and/or decline in performance. One of the many benefits to this certificate is the possibility to complete 100% online depending on the courses you select (see below). This certificate will provide the individual with current standards and training methods in strength and conditioning to help assess, monitor and design well-rounded training programs with the primary emphasis on enhancing athletic performance in athletes of all ages.
