Minor in Health Teaching

A Health Teaching minor provides students pursuing a degree in Physical Education with P-12 certification with the opportunity to enhance their teaching skills through the understanding of one's capacity to create health and wellness; and to learn about the effects of personal health on the teaching and learning environment. Students will learn to implement an interdisciplinary approach to teaching health within their chosen course of study.

Requirements for the Minor

The minor in Health Teaching requires a minimum of six (6) courses, as follows:

Required Core Courses

HLT 109, HLT 215, and 315; CFS 221; and PEH 100

PEH 100 is a General Education requirement and does not count as earned credit in the minor.

Required Distribution Courses

One (1) course chosen from HLT 111, 210, 224, or 318; and one additional full-credit HLT course.

PEH 221 and 222 do not count toward the minor.

Admission to the Minor

An interview with members of the Health faculty of the Department, as well as a departmental recommendation, are required for admission to the Health Teaching minor.

Additional considerations for the Health Minor

Designated Short Term HLT courses may be used for the minor. A grade of C (2.0 GPA) or higher in each required Health Teaching minor course and in each prerequisite and collateral course is required for continuation in the minor. Students not receiving a grade of C or higher may repeat that particular course to raise the grade while remaining in the minor program.
