The Flexible Option concentration is designed to allow students to develop
a unique pro- gram of studies leading to specialization in a field other
than the four specific specialization's currently offered in the BA program.
This option is designed to satisfy the needs of those who desire a basic
physical education degree but wish to combine it with a specialized interest
within disciplines outside the Department of Health, Physical Education
and Exercise Science. Students considering a flexible option concentration
should first consult with a HPEES faculty advisor to become familiar with
the nature and requirements of the concentration. The advisor will explain
the process required to enable a student to pursue this option.
