Sports Field Management Certificate

The Ohio State University Sports Field Management Certificate Program was developed to challenge and test individuals of all ages interested in advancing their knowledge in sports field management.

Introductory in nature, the program consists of 5 certificates:

1. Soils & Sands, Drainage, Irrigation & Sports Field Renovation Options
2. Cool & Warm Season Grasses
3. Sports Field Presentation, Mowing & Nutrition
4. IPM, Pests, Diseases & Weeds
5. Synthetic Turf History, Characteristics, Construction & Maintenance

The subject area is broad enough to be applicable to turf conditions globally. The on-line lectures were developed by leading turfgrasses researchers and educators at The Ohio State University specifically for sports field management.

Regardless of location, the program was created for individuals to work at their own pace and at a time most suited for them. Course presentations, references, faculty interaction, and testing are completed on-line. The only requirement is that the course be completed within a 1-year period.
