As more youth participate in recreational and secondary sports programs, the need for coaches and officials is growing rapidly.
The School of Education’s Physical Education (Coaching) minor prepares students for a range of roles such as:
Classes include coaching techniques, health sciences, athletics in education, nutrition, motor behavior, conditioning, and injury prevention. Additional trainings—including Safe and Healthy Learning Environments and CPR—are not required for the coaching minor but are required for a New York State coaching license. More information on academic requirements available in the Syracuse University Course Catalog.
If you are interesting in declaring a minor, talk to your advisor in your home school or college to see if you have enough room for the courses, a minimum of a 2.5 GPA, and complete the Minor Declaration Form. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Academic and Student Services.
