Overview

The nationally renowned Master of Arts in Coaching and Athletics Administration (MCAA) program has expanded to offer a Master of Science degree. Both degrees are part of the MCAA program at Concordia University Irvine.

A Master of Science degree option in Coaching and Exercise Science incorporates the exercise sciences into the curriculum. Earning the Master of Science will expand employment opportunities for MCAA graduates to advance their careers in positions that require a science-based degree.

Consult your MCAA academic advisor to find out which degree program works best for you.

A distinctive of our graduate program is the Culminating Project where you curate your professional body of work into a portfolio. As you complete papers, conduct interviews, and give presentations, you will save your work as part of your portfolio. Details about this course will be provided in your very first class to help prepare you in advance for this final course.

The real benefit of the portfolio is realized when you’re ready to level up and you walk into your interview ready. Over and over we hear how our students had a leg up on their competition because they were the only ones in the room with a portfolio of their work and achievements.
