Degree with a Major in Physical Education: Wellness and Health Promotion
A major in Physical Education: Wellness and Health Promotion 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, 245, 250, 343, 353, 355 (1/2 credit), 364, 444, 492 (1/2 credit), and 495 (1 to 3 credit)
Required Distribution Courses—Either one (1) course chosen from PED 246, 247, or 251 OR two (2) Adviser-approved PED 200-level activity courses plus PED 220 and 221. All majors also must complete either PED 244 or 280.
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 in his/her College career 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.
