Chairperson: Diane Tunnell
The Department of Sport and Physical Education offers two program options: The Bachelor of Education in Physical Education with an emphasis in teaching physical education and the Bachelor of Education in Sport Management. The Bachelor of Education in Physical Education curriculum primarily prepares students for Washington State Certification to teach health and physical education at the K-12 level in schools. It also prepares students to pursue careers and/or graduate study in physical education (pedagogy or administration). This certification option has reciprocity with other states within the United States. With a strong liberal arts core, courses from the Physical Education program and course work from the Department of Teacher Education, students master skills for entry into the teaching profession. A minor in physical education is also available, as is a health and fitness endorsement for those students whose primary major lies in an area other than physical education. For a complete listing of courses required for teaching certification contact the Program Director.
The Bachelor of Education in Sport Management prepares students for entry level positions in health, fitness, or sport related industry areas. Students in sport management follow a curriculum that includes pursuing an advisor approved minor or concentration in business, communications studies, or other specialty areas. This track also prepares students to pursue graduate studies in sport management or athletic administration.
The Sport & Physical Education Department also offers a large number of activity courses (EDPE 101-EDPE 185) which are open to students throughout the University. Activity courses may be repeated for credit.
