To support the coaching community, a website that presents the educational offerings of graduate school coaching programs was designed and populated at www.pennsurveys.org/coaching/.
A coaching program was defined as one housed in a graduate academic institution that met any of the following criteria: degree-based coaching coursework; graduate courses that produced a transcript and certificate; non-degree courses that earned a certificate; or coaching applications.
The project surveyed six countries and the site now contains 214 graduate institutions distributed as follows:
- 17 are in Australia
- 0 are in New Zealand
- 21 are in Canada
- 52 are in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Scotland
- 124 are in the United States
The site also contains a draft proposed curriculum from which graduate coaching programs may be drawn. The document was written by members of the Graduate School Alliance for Executive Coaching a consorting of graduate institutions in the United States and Canada. Identified institutions are encouraged to add details about their programs and leadership. They are also encouraged to comment on the draft proposed curriculum.
The University of Pennsylvania and Graduate School Alliance for Executive Coaching will maintain and update the website as new programs are identified and as comments by users become available. Professional societies and other groups will be contacted to request that they link to the website as a resource to the global academic and professional coaching community.
Note: This research was made possible in part with a grant awarded by The Foundation of Coaching, a leader in coaching-related research.
