Depends on the program. At my school, its almost worthless. I really didn't need to take classes learning about the merits of HIT training and learning at olympic lifters focus on German volume training in the offseason.. That combined with health courses focusing on low fat diets and learning the merits of the GI scale.
I only minored in it, but sat in on many classes as training is my main interest.
I guess I am skeptical that it will improve your personal training, or get you more clients, money etc. Now if you want to specialize and become a physical therapist or something like that then its going to be almost essential.
