Health and Physical Education

The Physical Education – Teacher Education (PETE) program is a comprehensive program designed to prepare teacher candidates with background knowledge, related professional experiences, and personal sensitivities necessary to begin careers in teaching.

The program leads to the Bachelor of Science in Education degree that offers subject specialization in health and physical education, grades K-12. All teacher certification students must complete: the Liberal Arts Core requirements, a core of education courses, health and physical education course work, and a second teaching field. The PETE curriculum (43 credit hours) is comprised of three areas of course work (bioscience-related, pedagogical / theory-related, and performance/activity courses) and these courses are differentiated as either pre-admission or program admission coursework
