Degree with a Major in Physical Education: General
A major in Physical Education: General 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, 244, 245, 246 or 247,
280, 343, 353, 364, and 492 (1/2 credit)

PED 246, 247, 250, or 251
Required Collateral Courses—BIO
101 and HLT 109. (BIO 101 is a prerequisite for PED courses
in the Science Core.)
Exploring the Major—A student
interested in a Physical Education major should contact a Department
faculty member as early as possible to explore areas of concentration.
Admission
to the Major—An interview with departmental
faculty members and a 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.
