What will I learn?

The undergraduate health coach certificate provides a rigorous academic and theoretical background in three components of health (nutrition, exercise and motivational coaching) required to prepare workers for the challenges of being a health coach. The certificate provides additional credentials for students already pursuing a bachelor's degree in food science and human nutrition, kinesiology and health, or psychology. Students would be able to sit for the American Council on Exercise exam should they choose to do so. Any Iowa State University student may apply for the undergraduate health coach certificate. Students should contact their academic advisor to add the Health Coaching Certificate.
