Sport and Physical Education
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 most 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 in general business, promotions, journalism, or other specialty areas to increase their marketability. This track also prepares students to pursue graduate studies in sport management or athletic administration. During the past few years, these companies have hired our alumni, including Arizona Diamondbacks (MLB), Golden State Warries (NBA), Portland Timbers (MLS), The University of Washington Athletics (NCAA), Colorado Rapids (MLS) Everett Aquasox (Minor League Baseball), Spokane Indians (Minor League Baseball), Idaho Stampede (D-League), and Slalom Consulting,
Activity Course Offering: The Sport & Physical Education Department also offers a large number of activity courses (EDPE 101-189) which are open to students throughout the University. Activity courses may be repeated for credit.
