LEWISTON, Idaho – In the midst of hosting the Avista NAIA World Series, Lewis-Clark State College administrators announced on Thursday the college has been notified of final approvals to launch its graduate certificate in Sport Coaching this fall.
The college has received approval from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU) to offer a 12-credit online graduate program in Sport Coaching. This will be the second post-graduate offering in the college’s 128-year history. In April, the NWCCU gave LC State approval to offer a graduate certificate in Nursing Management & Leadership, also beginning this fall.
“We’re very excited about this new certificate in Sport Coaching and the doors it will help open for our students – including many of our student-athletes – who aspire to be coaches,” LC State President Cynthia Pemberton said. “Being fully online, we’re also confident it will bring opportunities for advancement for those already in this growing profession, from recreation league coaches to high school and college-level, no matter where they live.”
