教育研究-运动教练

Tiffin University’s 文学学士 in educational studies offers non-licensure pathways for students to pursue employment in education-related fields, including a specialized track for those interested in becoming an athletic coach. 

The curriculum is transfer-friendly and features a 12-course core focused on sociology, psychology, multicultural communications and introductory education studies.

TU offers a unique program in athletic coaching that prepares ambitious coaches with the necessary professional skills to excel in their work with contemporary athletes. Our students cultivate their strengths through education, 探索新技能, and embrace the challenge of self-improvement in order to unleash their full potential and become exceptional coaches for their athletes.

The educational studies program prepares students with a comprehensive understanding of multiculturalism, social inclusivity and their relevance in education. Students are ready for diverse careers in education, with the knowledge and practical applications of psychological theories and principles.

根据美国.S. 劳工统计局(2022), the need for non-licensed educational support staff (such as teacher assistants) is growing at a faster-than-average rate of 9% nationally, and there is an acute need for aides and special education teachers within K-12 schools in Ohio.

The educational studies program also provides streamlined, dual-enrollment pathways into our Master of Education instructional design concentration. While working on their undergraduate degree, students may take up to six hours of graduate coursework that qualify as open electives toward the degree. 

As part of the Expanding Special Education Licensure (ExSEL) grant from the Ohio Department of Higher Education, the 教育研究 program also provides a potential 3+2 pathway to a master’s degree in special education through a partnership with Lourdes University. Students who take this path will both earn a master’s degree and become licensed to teach K-12 mild to moderate special education.

Studentswill practice and gain certificates that can prepare them for life in athletics after college. Students may easily obtain more 从实践经验中学习 through shadowing or working with coaching staff.
