Big news for the future of athletics in Maine.

Thomas College is launching a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Coaching, starting Fall 2026. This first-of-its-kind program in Maine is designed to prepare the next generation of coaches to lead with knowledge, confidence, and purpose.

Blending sport science, psychology, leadership, and performance training, students will learn how to develop athletes, build strong team cultures, and elevate performance from day one. With hands-on experience and internship opportunities, graduates will be ready to make an impact in the ever-evolving world of athletics.

“If you’re passionate about sports and helping others grow, coaching may be one of the most meaningful careers you can pursue,” said Dr. Greg King.
