Health and Physical Education

Major

Through physical education, youth and adults learn the physical skills needed to perform daily work, train and condition to maintain health, and practice skills for leisure-time activities. Physical education careers can emphasize athletic training, coaching, and adapted physical education.

  • The Physical Education Program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Education degree and multi-age (Pre-K–12) Ohio teaching license in Health Education and Physical Education.
  • Jobs outside the education arena exist in community agencies, such as the American Red Cross, YMCA, YWCA, hospitals, or municipal recreation departments.
