Capitalizing on its state-of-the-art sporting facilities and expert faculty, Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU), via its College of Education (CEd), has announced the launch of Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science (BSESS) major in Fitness and Sports Coaching program for the Academic Year 2025-2026.
TAU President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson shared that the BSESS program had been approved by the TAU Board of Regents (BOR) and endorsed by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Regional Office III (RO III) to be offered by the College of Education (CEd).
He emphasized that the decision aligned with the โrising demand for skilled coaches, fitness trainers, and wellness experts, driven by a health-conscious generation and expanding sports markets.โ Dr. Salunson added that the program would equip graduates with โscientific expertise and practical skills to excel in producing elite Filipino athletes and supporting community health initiatives.โ
Meanwhile, Dr. Claire Anne A. Olvaire, CEd Dean, acknowledged challenges such as gaps in sports science expertise but explained that collaborations with external specialists and CAS were underway to address foundational needs. Despite these hurdles, she affirmed the CEdโs commitment to establishing the BSESS program and seamlessly integrating it into the Collegeโs academic framework.
โThe BSESS program is a new chapter for CED, expanding our scope beyond teacher education. This opens new opportunities for students who want to pursue careers in coaching, sports management, and allied fields, making CED more dynamic and future-ready,โ Dr. Olivares elaborated.
According to the Admission and Registration Services (ARS) the University will be reopening the application process for walk-in applicants of BSESS and other degree programs on 27-28 March. Aspirants are advised to bring photocopies of all requested documents and secure a working email address for a more seamless transaction.
