Additional requirements are listed under degree requirements in the Education Department.
Students who have completed a non-teaching degree or a degree in another discipline may pursue a licensure program in physical education. For information call the department office at ext. 1459.
The Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education will prepare students
for future study in physical education and movement science and/or careers
in activity-oriented businesses. This degree is NOT for students seeking
teaching certification. Each student will take the general education requirements
necessary for the Bachelor of Arts degree. The Physical Education core
requirements include the following 21 credits: HL 152, PE 250, PE 271,
PE 320, PE 321, PE 326, PE 440, PE 496. Correlated requirements include
CM 212 or PE 333, BI 250, and RI255. Activity requirements are 4 credits
from the 100-level, one-hour activity course listing or from the following
list: PE 260, PE 261, PE 360, PE 361, PE 365, or PE 400. Students are
also required to take 12 interest area credits in physical education,
6 of which must be 200+ level or higher, and 6 at 300+ level or higher.
Interest area credits may be fulfilled by concentration courses in PE
but not more than three credits of internship can be applied. The concentration in Exercise Physiology includes the following: PE 257, PE 300, PE 308, PE 400, PE 410, PE 411 and PE 494 (internship 50 hours). Correlated requirements include: MA 140 or PY 102, CH 121, PS 101, and SO 315. For the concentration in Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) students must complete all core requirements, correlated requirements, activity credits and interest area credits for the basic BA degree in physical education. Concentration courses are specified by the PTA program. The Flexible Option concentration is designed to allow students to develop
a unique program of studies leading to specialization in a field other
than the specific specializations 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 to pursue this option.
The Bachelor of Science degree with a major in athletic training is designed
to meet the national standards of the Commission of Accreditation of Allied
Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). A competitive selection process based on overall GPA, a letter of interest, letters of recommendations and personal resume lead to the selection of students to participate. Twelve students annually may be admitted. Students must also accept the technical standards, complete a medical record (physical examination) and a Hepatitis B vaccination.
The athletic training core requirements include: HL 152, PE 250, PE 271,
PE 320, PE 321, PE 326 and PE 440. Correlated requirements include: IS
170, BI 255, BI 275, CH 121, PS 101, NU 313, SO 315 and either PE 333
