Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention

The University has worked closely with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) to develop outstanding course content. The NASM was founded in 1987 by physicians, physical therapists and fitness professionals. Since its inception, the organization has expanded throughout the United States, Asia and Europe and has always focused on the development, refinement and implementation of superior educational programs for fitness, performance and sports medicine professionals.

NOTE: In addition to NASM material (PDF files, video content, etc.) costs for program track coursework, there is an additional fee charged by NASM for the NASM certification examination. The complete NASM cost for the year, including materials and examination fee, are approximately $500. This is in addition to program tuition. In addition, Cal U provides credit to applicants who have previously earned NASM certifications. You will receive credit for one 3 credit course if you have a previously earned NASM certification that is provided in the track you are enrolled in.
Program length consists of 12 consecutive months. A minimum of two cohorts per year are accepted with the options being a January or July start. Twenty-five-30 students per cohort work, learn, and communicate online and regularly function as a group of interactive peers. This virtual community creates a lively, dynamic educational experience that enriches the collaborative skills essential in the contemporary health care, education, wellness, and fitness workplace.

The curricular content is well positioned to be presented via the Internet. Performance enhancement and injury prevention, fitness and wellness strategies, sport psychology, and rehabilitation science methodology are presented with streaming video, narrated PowerPoint presentations, and online forums. Threaded discussion groups, chat rooms, and e-mail allow the cohorts to communicate and interact, adding unique insight into the discussion. Each student uses their existing place of employment as their working laboratory applying concepts and techniques learned online into their daily practice.
