Physical Education, Health & Coaching

Program Overview

The Physical Education, Health & Coaching Program at the graduate level prepares students for licensure in elementary and secondary schools as physical education teachers. It also prepares students to work in independent schools and colleges, youth agencies, social service organizations, health and fitness practices, and community-based associations. The approach is interdisciplinary, with courses from the life sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences all complementing the professional education courses.
