- Back To TopI have taken a number of graduate courses. Can I transfer those credits to this program?
No. This is a lockstep program in which all participants admitted into the program during the same year will start the program together (in the same cohort) at the same time and complete the required courses in a sequence.
- Back To TopDo we complete all the courses online?
The participants in the program will complete most of the courses online. However, they will be required to attend one high-intensity on-campus “Global Sport Coaching Seminar” held at the Ohio University campus in Athens, Ohio. During the on-campus seminar, the participants will have the opportunity to interact with the program faculty and other classmates face-to-face and complete a 3-credit course. The on-campus visit typically lasts about four days.
- Back To TopHow long does it take to complete the program?
It will take about twenty-four (24) months to finish the program.

The cost per credit hour for in-state students is $554 for a total of $19,944 and for out-of-state it is $573 for a total of $20,628.
