A minor in health coaching can help you become more marketable, expand your skill
set, and add value to your degree.
The Health Coaching Minor is intended for students who desire a career in health and
well-being. Students learn the foundations of behavior-change science and the theoretical
and practical considerations for empowering clients to adopt and sustain healthy lifestyles.
Rather than giving their clients direct instructions, they help people get motivated,
make decisions, set goals, and pursue higher levels of wellness. Students completing
the minor are prepared to sit for the American Council on Exercise (ACE) national certification exam required to become an ACE Certified Health Coach.
This minor should be attractive for students with different academic backgrounds who
aspire to help people optimize their health.
