Add a Certificate in Interscholastic Athletic/Activities Administration

The interscholastic athletic/activities administration certificate provides undergraduate students with an opportunity to focus a segment of their studies on extracurricular activities at the interscholastic level. Combining experiential learning and networking opportunities with academic coursework, students will be prepared to enter a school district prepared and confident to succeed in athletic/activities administration roles. 

In February 2015, the Iowa State Board of Educational Examiners (BoEE) made a rule change to Iowa Code 282-22.8 (272), allowing individuals who do not have a teaching degree to become authorized athletics/activities administrators. Individuals who have completed a baccalaureate degree from a regionally-accredited institution in the sport management area, with a focus on athletics/activities administration, are now able to hold an acting role within schools across the state of Iowa.
