Sample Degree Plans

Perhaps you would like to see what a degree plan might look like. We’ve constructed three sample plans. One might be the degree plan for a coach who is primarily interested in athletic performance improvement. The second is designed with a physical educator in mind – one who is interested in providing both sport and fitness education for his/her students. The third might be appropriate for someone in the fitness or wellness areas. Remember, these are just three examples of the way you might design your own degree program.
