The Council on Accreditation of Strength and Conditioning Education (CASCE) has recognized Indiana Tech’s exercise science strength and conditioning program with a five-year accreditation.

Starting in 2030, a degree from a CASCE-accredited program will be required for any individual seeking to earn their Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certificate. CSCS certification is an industry standard for many professional positions in the field of strength and conditioning and sports performance.

Director of Indiana Tech’s Exercise and Sport Performance Laboratory Dawn Anderson says the recognition demonstrates the program’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of quality and excellence.

“Our curriculum, faculty and facilities have undergone rigorous evaluation to ensure that we provide students with the knowledge, skills and practical experience necessary to excel in the field of strength and conditioning and keep athletes safe,” said Anderson.

The process for earning CASCE accreditation takes about two years. An initial application is submitted to demonstrate that the foundational pieces are in place. Once approved, programs become eligible to complete a yearlong “self-study,” in which the program complies with CASCE standards while receiving input from faculty, administrators, field experience supervisors and current students.

Dean of Indiana Tech’s College of Arts and Sciences Dr. Anne Gull says the accreditation speaks to the quality of the program’s faculty, and will allow students to stay on track with evolving professional standards.

“It is valuable to be recognized by an external agency, and that provides incoming students with assurances that their career goals will be met,” said Gull.

Indiana Tech joins only 60 other schools around the world currently with CASCE accreditation. The five-year recognition is the maximum length of initial accreditation offered by the council.

Remembering and honoring those who lost their lives in service to our country this Memorial Day.

Indiana Tech is receiving a $500,000 grant from Lilly Endowment as part of the second phase of our Indiana Youth Programs on Campus (IYPC) program.

IYPC is a Lilly Endowment initiative designed to help Indiana colleges and universities in their efforts to create new or expand and enhance existing high-quality, on-campus programs for Hoosier youth, ages five through 18.

Indiana Tech previously received $1 million in the first round of IYPC funding in 2022 for our proposal, which helped establish the STEAM Academy. This new round of funding will extend support for the STEAM Academy over the next three years.

The STEAM Academy at Indiana Tech provides students with innovative youth programming and hands-on learning opportunities that will enhance their academic and creative strengths in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM).

Programs offered through STEAM Academy include:

Girls Tech Takeover
Middle School STEM Club
Robotic Warriors Club
Introductory Robotics Program
Build + Learn Middle School Camp
High School STEM Camp
Launch + Lead Camp
Creative Expression and Communication Camp
Examine + Explore Science Camp

The STEAM Academy’s year-round programming and summer camps are led by a team of dedicated faculty and staff collaborating to create world-class academic experiences for the next generation of Warriors.

You can learn more about STEAM Academy and its programs at indianatech.edu/steam.

The second round of IYPC funding was announced in the Fall of 2024, and Indiana Tech’s internal team, led by Academic Camp Director Caleb Hunter worked to successfully secure these funds to support students in the community.
