About Tactical Strength and Conditioning
Military service members, law enforcement professionals, emergency responders and other front-line personnel face physical challenges as extreme as any sport.
Graduates of Cal U’s tactical strength and conditioning program are at their side, helping these men and women build strength, improve physical performance and decrease the risk of injuries.
The advanced tactical strength and conditioning program at Cal U combines theory and practical application. Students learn to use evidence-based practice to physically train and educate military, fire and rescue, law enforcement, protective services, and other emergency personnel.
Prepare to sit for NSCA TSAC-F certification
California University of Pennsylvania is the first 100% online degree program to offer the tactical strength and conditioning (TSAC) program as a concentration in Cal U’s M.S. in Exercise Science and Health Promotion curriculum.
Graduates who complete the master’s degree program and meet NSCA criteria will be eligible to sit for the certification exam for NSCA Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitators.
New safety guidelines in emergency fields require all coaching personnel to have certifications and advanced education. The prestigious NSCA TSAC-F certification addresses those standards and will meet certification requirements for coaches once the NSCA’s quality initiative takes effect in 2030.
