HPU’s Sport and Wellness Leadership accepting applications for fall 2017

HPU SWELL at FCABROWNWOOD – March 9, 2017 – Howard Payne University is seeking applicants for the second cohort of graduate students in the university’s Master of Education in Sport and Wellness Leadership (SWELL) degree program. The group will begin classes in August, and the first cohort of 18 students will finish degree requirements this spring.

The SWELL program at HPU seeks to prepare future leaders for the $4-trillion sport and wellness industries. The program consists of 10 classes over 20 months, most of which are held on Monday evenings. Courses include instruction in event planning, public relations, legal foundations, leadership and more.

“We are seeking another fine group of future leaders who are committed to enhancing the quality of life for those impacted by the sport and wellness industries,” said Dr. Graham Hatcher, SWELL program director. “Several of our program participants are in new careers that have become available by participation in this program.”

A distinctive feature of the program is the two-week travel course in June 2018, which will enable students to engage sport and wellness industry leaders throughout the United States.

“Last summer, we visited more than 20 venues including the National Collegiate Athletic Association offices in Indianapolis, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Support Center in Kansas City, the Center for Disease Control offices in Colorado Springs and the National Wellness Institute’s annual meeting in Minneapolis,” said Dr. Hatcher.

The coursework, travel and HPU’s Christ-centered academic community make the affordable SWELL program a unique offering among master’s programs in the United States.
