Coaching
The coaching minor prepares students to work as coaches in organized athletic programs at any level. Although formal education is not currently required of coaches, this particular program combines theoretical, scientific, and practical components to provide students with the knowledge and the skills they will need to succeed in this competitive yet rewarding area of service. The course requirements of the coaching minor make it a suitable complement to any major field of study offered by the University.
Health Promotion
The health promotion minor is a noncertificate area for those students not seeking teaching certification in health education. It is designed to prepare students for health promotion employment opportunities in educational, community, health agency, sport, and leisure settings. It complements the coursework in physical education, athletic training, business, exercise science, or psychology. Students may also qualify to take the Certified Health Education Specialist exam, depending on particular course work chosen.
Multi-Age Health Education
The multi-age health education minor prepares students to teach health in Christian or public schools in grades preK-12. The Ohio teaching license, through reciprocal agreements, is automatically recognized in 42 states. For additional information about teaching in other states, see the Department of Education section of the website. Because this program of study is not a major, students interested in health education must select an additional subject area as a major.
Sport Management
The purpose of the sport management minor is to allow students from other majors the opportunity to develop a foundation which will serve as the basis for a future career in sport such as high school athletic director or baseball announcer.
Sport Ministry
The sport ministry minor prepares students to use sport as a medium in a variety of evangelistic and discipleship settings including, but not limited to the following: church recreation programs, summer sports camps, coaching clinics, and cross-cultural international settings. The sport ministry minor is a good compliment to many majors including world missions, youth ministries, sport management, and sport and exercise studies.
