Overview

All NCAA institutions are now required to have a certified strength & conditioning coach on staff. Additionally, high schools nation wide are recognizing both the need and the benefit of having individuals trained in strength & conditioning. Harding University's program is designed for those who are interested in assisting athletes at all levels to improve athletic performance and emphasis on primary prevention of injuries. Our graduates will be well-equipped to fill those influential roles with Christian professionals.

Two Tracks Available

There are two tracks students may take to prepare for the Master of Science in Strength and Conditioning exam.

Accelerated – This accelerated dual degree curriculum makes it possible for qualified students to complete both a Bachelor of Science in strength and conditioning and a Master of Science in strength & conditioning in five years.

Students will declare strength and conditioning as the undergraduate major, complete liberal arts credits and prerequisites during their first three years, and finish graduate school in years four and five.

Traditional – Students follow a traditional four-year undergraduate track, ensuring that any required prerequisites are part of undergraduate curriculum.

Interested applicants may apply for the graduate program as early as their final year of undergraduate study.
The two-year strength and conditioning master’s program requires a secondary application process (the program opens Fall 2021).
