Loyola's Coaching Certificate Program
Welcome to Loyola University Maryland’s Coaching Program! Whether you are interested in taking a class or two to become more "coach-like" or all 5 courses for certification, our program has something for you!
Our dynamic and student-centered program intertwines critical self-reflection, discernment, and principles of justice to train individuals in coaching. In each course, you will receive peer support, small-group coaching simulations, mentor coaching, hands-on practice, and continuous reflection to learn and practice coaching mindsets and strategies.

Coaching Program Details
Why a compass? Coaching is instrumental in facilitating personal and professional transformation, marking a profound shift from one place to another. Central to this change is self-awareness—a compass serves as a pivotal coaching tool, grounding both coach and client. It enables exploration of directions and priorities, aligning core values with intentional processes to realize desired outcomes. Through compass work, coaches and clients reevaluate beliefs, behaviors, and systems, fostering substantial growth and development.
