Students in Education may add coaching as an endorsement area, if certified to teach in Iowa. The coaching endorsement acquired through this course of study does not necessarily qualify participants to immediately become head coaches of all varsity sports. Students seeking licensure in teaching must take Education 165. Sports Administration majors must take Psychology 201. SpSc 319, Coaching Internship, is not required, but recommended. Students are encouraged to pursue a coaching opportunity for credit after coaching authorization courses are completed.
