Coaching Minor
This coaching minor is one of the few in the northern Rocky Mountain region and is specifically designed to prepare those interested in coaching any sport at any entry level. It was based upon the National Standards for Sport Coaches that was developed by professional coach educators from the National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) and other sport organizations and universities across the USA.
- COA 205 Introduction to Coaching is the 'keystone' course for this major. All students should start here.
- In most cases, there will be no credits given for prior coaching experience that has not resulted in a written evaluation from an athletic director, director of coaching, head coach, or other sport administrator.
Students must receive a grade of "C" or better (with the exception of COA 395 which is P/F) for the following courses.
