Online Master's Degree in Coaching Education

Lead On and Off the Field with an Online Master’s in Coaching Education

“I was looking for a master’s program that would allow me to still coach and not lose that step since I’m already a head coach. I also wanted to get a master’s in something that I enjoy doing – and that is coaching.” – Janelle Higgins, current student
