There is a constant necessity for highly-trained, professionally certified strength and conditioning coach at every athletic program in the country. Simply put, without a qualified strength and conditioning coach, the athletic program will suffer. Logan University shares this vision for continuing to fill the need for qualified, well-rounded athletic performance coaches.
In the summer of 2022, Logan University began offering a brand new, cutting-edge post-graduate degree program specifically for strength and conditioning. This Master of Science in Strength and Conditioning program was developed by some of the most experienced and well-respected leaders in the strength and conditioning field.
Logan University has a long history of excellence, starting with its founding way back in 1935 as a chiropractic school. Over the years, their programs have expanded exponentially, but they retain the core benefits of their roots in health and human performance.
Students who enroll in this new master’s program can expect the same level of challenging, world-class education they would find in Logan University’s other award-winning programs – all packaged within a seven-week accelerated format, allowing students to graduate in just one year.
