Dance
Students who receive a degree in dance can not only pursue a career as a professional dancer in commercial dances onstage and in film, but they may also seek careers as dance therapists, dance instructors, or choreographers. Degree recipients can apply their knowledge of dance in areas such as arts administration, studio management, arts grant writing, and dance notators for dance companies.
Coaching
Athletic coaches are not only leaders, but also important role models to America's youth. At Diablo Valley College, the physical education-coaching program is designed for students who are interested in obtaining a job as an athletic coach.
Fitness Instruction/Personal Training
Over seventy percent of Americans who start an exercise program quit within six months. More and more people are turning to a fitness instructor or personal trainer as a practical means of developing and maintaining a fitness routine.
Sports Medicine / Athletic Training
A certified athletic trainer is a well-trained allied health care professional who plays an integral part in a complete athletic program. Working closely with physicians, certified athletic trainers provide services to athletes including prevention, evaluation, initial management, and rehabilitation of athletic injuries. An athletic trainer also services as a consultant and adviser to athletes, parents and coaches.
