The Coaching Education Program in the Patton College of Education at Ohio University and United Soccer Coaches have developed an online Master's Degree program specific to soccer coaching. It is the only sport specific graduate program in the United States. This unique degree program is delivered with 10 online graduate courses and 2 face-to-face residency courses. Two cohorts of 25 students each are admitted twice a year in January and June. Students register for two courses per semester/summer session and take one course at a time.
A prospective student must meet the following requirements to be considered for unconditional admission to the Department of Recreation and Sport Pedagogy Graduate Program in Soccer Coaching:
