The Integrated BS-Physical Activity and Health Promotion/MA-Integrative Health and Wellbeing Coaching (BS-PAHP/MA-IHWC) program lets you earn both a Bachelor of Science in Physical Activity and Health Promotion and a Master of Arts in Integrative Health and Wellbeing Coaching in five years. The MA-IHWC, accredited by the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching, prepares you for various professional settings with courses on coaching principles, health behavior change, mind-body science, trauma-informed mental health, leadership, and more. In this program, you'll complete your BS coursework and 16 MA credits in your fourth year, then finish the remaining MA credits in your fifth year. To stay on track, you must follow the program's schedule and apply for the sub-plan in the spring of your junior year, consulting with your advisor for guidance. BS-PAHP courses are mainly on-campus, while MA-IHWC courses are online and synchronous along with two required weekends on campus in year 1.
