Coaching & Sport Science The Coaching program is an applied sport science program that equips students with skills and knowledge to instruct individuals in a variety of coaching environments and age groups ranging from childhood to elderly populations including varsity sports at all levels. Division III level coaches depend more on Graduate Assistants (GA's) to share a significant amount of coaching responsibility for varsity teams. Coaching stipends are available for GA's making it possible to finance a portion of the cost of the program.
