Core Curriculum

Embedded in the curriculum are one or two semesters of Practicum coursework, which is completed for graduate course credit under the supervision of Coach Raychelle Ellsworth, one of our Sport Performance coaches in the Department of Athletics. In these practicum courses, students receive hands-on “practical” training working under the supervision of coaches with athletes in various Texas A&M University men’s and women’s sports.

Important note: These practicum courses require an application process and permission to enroll conditioned upon acceptance by the Sports Performance staff of the athletic department.

• The process of acceptance may require a personal interview and documented experience in sport performance/strength and conditioning in a high school, collegiate, or professional sports program.
• Documented evidence of athletic competition at the collegiate or professional level may also suffice as experience.
• These Practicum procedures are under the domain of the Sports Performance staff in the Department of Athletics. A capstone internship experience with Texas A&M athletics or another sports performance setting – collegiate, professional, or private, either in Texas or out-of-state – may also be chosen for course credit.
• Either non-thesis or thesis degree options may be chosen. Students typically take about two years to complete the program and graduate.
• The curriculum also may prepare students for National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association (CSCCa), and American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) certifications.
