This 12-credit hour, online graduate certificate offered by the Department of Special Education, Counseling, and Student Affairs emphasizes how professionals can strengthen knowledge and skills to provide educational and holistic development opportunities for college athletes. This program will assist anyone who would like to expand their skills in the areas of athletic advising, college athlete holistic development, and the ever-changing landscape of college athletics covering topics such as name-image-likeness, athlete mental health and wellbeing, and conference realignment.
Students may apply credits earned through the graduate certificate completion towards a Master of Science in College Student Development at Kansas State University (which is an on-campus program and has a separate admissions process).
