Once students have met the requirements for admission to the Strength and Conditioning Education Program they will be contacted by the program director to discuss whether they want to proceed into the SCEP and what the requirements are for graduation from the SCEP. They will also be given the option to change to a different concentration. Once a student has met the criteria for admission they cannot continue on the strength and conditioning concentration without entering the SCEP.
