B.A. Degree with a Major
in Physical Education: Exercise Science and Sports Medicine
A major in Physical Education: Exercise Science and Sports
Medicine is achieved by completion of the following requirements,
in addition to the General Education and electives required
for a degree:
Required Core Courses—PED 131,
280, 343, 353, 364, 444, and 492 (1/2 credit)
Required Distribution
Courses—One course chosen from
PED 245, 250, 251; and either one additional
full-credit activity course (PED 246 or 247) or four PED
200-level activity courses (1/4 credit each)
Required Collateral
Courses—BIO 101 and 102; CFS 221;
and HLT 109
Additional Requirements for Exercise Science Concentration
(Physiological Careers)—CHM 113 or 121; and CHM 221
Additional Requirements for Exercise
Science Concentration (Physiological Careers)—CHM 113 or 131; and CHM 221
Additional
Requirements for Exercise Science Concentration (Biomechanical
Careers)—MAT 135 completed or waived.
NOTE: MAT 115 and 125 are prerequisites to MAT 135/220
and must be completed or waived, as well.
Additional Requirements
for Sports Medicine Concentration—PED
260 and 360
Exploring the Major—Students interested
in Biomechanical careers should complete or waive the MAT
115, 125, and 135/220 sequence within the first two years.
Students interested in Physiological careers and who plan
to take Physics courses as electives should be aware that
MAT 115 is a prerequisite for PHY 217.
Admission to the Major—An
interview with members of the faculty of the Department and
departmental recommendation are required for admission to
the Physical Education major.
Course Sequencing Considerations
(in order to complete degree requirements within eight terms)—A
student with an interest in Physical Education as a major
is advised to register as early as the first term for PED
131, BIO 101, and PEH 100. These courses form the basis for
all other courses in the major. Physical Education major
courses are taught in alternating years, so it is important
to begin the sequence as early as possible. PED 492 (1/2
credit) may be taken in junior or senior year.
Proficiency
Requirements for Retention in and Completion of the Major—A
grade of C (2.0 GPA) or higher in each required Physical
Education major course and in each prerequisite and collateral
course is required for continuation in the major. Students
not receiving a grade of C or higher may repeat that particular
course to raise the grade while remaining in the major program.
Other
Considerations or Recommendations—Students majoring
in Physical Education are expected to hold a Labor position
for at least one term within the Physical Education Department,
Seabury Center, or Intramurals.
