PHYSICAL EDUCATION
MAJOR (BS)
Students who major in Physical
Education will be prepared to assume a teaching
(Physical Education – Teaching) or non-teaching
(Physical Education – Non-teaching) position in
the field. Our goal is that Physical Education
majors graduate with the knowledge to help them
promote and advocate for physical activity,
wellness, and exercise promotion for individuals
of all ages, and that they have the skills and
knowledge needed to do this effectively.
Students will develop skills in the effective
teaching of physical skills (exercise and sport
related), as well as teaching and advocating
exercise and fitness promotion. Students will
develop a well-balanced knowledge in the field,
as throughout the Physical Education program,
they will address the pedagogical, social,
psychological, physiological, anatomical, and
biomechanical aspects of physical activity.
