The Sport Coaching and Human Performance minor is designed for those students looking to enter sport coaching and/or strength and conditioning coaching at the secondary, collegiate, or private practice setting. The minor will provide the background and application of coaching theory needed to become a successful coach. The requirements in the minor also satisfy the state of Oklahoma’s requirements for coaching at the secondary education level. Additionally, upon completion of the course work students will have the necessary background to sit for the National Strength and Conditioning Association’s Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam, a professional certification that is the standard for human performance for coaches at any level of competition.

The history department has a three-fold objective. First, the department works to provide a major that prepares students for graduate study in history, law, public service, and archival work, while encouraging a broad perspective and measured judgment appropriate for the graduate entering almost any career. Next, the department provides a minor and a variety of elective courses intended to hone interests and deepen knowledge in particular subject fields while enabling the student to synthesize knowledge from other disciplines. Finally, the department presents general education courses to help students better understand themselves, their national heritage, and the world in which they live. Through all of the above, the department hopes that students will also understand how events in the past did and did not happen and, perhaps most importantly, that neither the history of their country nor of the world is a simple morality play.
