Programming With Purpose.
The Master of Science in Health and Human Performance is a full-time, residential program completed in 14-months (36 credits). The curriculum is focused on creating programming strategies that promote both sport performance and client wellness, while recognizing the impact of chronic and acute health conditions. In short, Piedmont students learn how to recognize their client’s needs, assess their abilities, create interventions to reach their goals, and implement behavior coaching principles to help them be successful.
And while many university programs have transitioned to be fully on-line, we know students appreciate the advantages that come from the hands-on experiences found in face-to-face classes. Piedmont’s interactive and interdisciplinary learning experiences use collaboration to maximize student learning.
Our small cohorts and individualized student-teacher attention ensure students are prepared to practice in a variety of settings and take two professional certification exams:
