For the Coaching Track, the core courses in the MA program remain the same. However, instead of completing all the applied placements, Coaching Track students take relevant elective units. This is of interest to coaches and various types of trainers who want a graduate degree to help elevate their coaching career and understanding of those they serve. 

Note: this track does not meet all CMPC requirements without supervised placement hours.
