Department of
Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Coaching
We offer an undergraduate major in Physical Education with a choice of two emphases, and a graduate master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Health, Physical Education, and Coaching.

It prepares students for careers in the schools teaching elementary and secondary physical education, health education, adaptive physical education, and/or coaching.
The undergraduate Health, Human Performance, and Recreation emphasis prepares students for careers in the private sector that include various leadership roles in fitness, wellness, recreation, outdoor education, and/or health promotion.
