Sport and Physical Education

• B.Ed. in Physical Education with an emphasis in teaching physical education, and
• B.Ed. in Sport Management

The B.Ed. prepares students to pursue careers and/or graduate study in physical education (pedagogy or administration) or sport management (professional opportunities in sport-related professions and business).

Teacher certification in physical education (health and fitness) K-12 is available to physical education majors who fulfill the certification requirements of the Teacher Education Program in addition to the requirements for the B.Ed. in Physical Education.

A minor in physical education or sport management is also available, as is a health and fitness endorsement for those students whose primary area of teaching certification lies in an area other than physical education.

Students in sport management follow a curriculum that includes taking a minor in general business or communication arts. This track prepares students to enter the sport/athletic management field or pursue graduate studies in sport management.
