Strength and Conditioning
In 2004, Springfield College's strength and conditioning program was recognized by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) for its proactive efforts in providing students with the education needed to be successful in the exercise and sport science fields. Springfield College was one of just 47 institutions to be honored by the NSCA.
