If you’re interested in molding bodies as well as minds, giving students healthy habits for a lifetime, and mentoring tomorrow’s athletes, WCU’s Health and Physical Education Program is the perfect fit for you.
Undergraduates can enroll in a program to earn a Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.) degree which will prepare you to teach in elementary, middle, and secondary schools. Our graduates can organize and administer intramural programs, coach varsity sports, and administer athletic programs in addition to teaching physical education, exercise, and dance. Outside of academia, our graduates also work in YMCA/YWCAs, community recreation programs, industry and corporate fitness, and in private clubs.
If you already have a bachelor’s degree, our graduate programs will prepare you for teaching physical education in public schools, college-level instruction, and entry into doctoral programs. Graduate studies in physical education provide a comprehensive background in the field, as well as practical experience necessary for advanced licensure in K-12 and coaching or teaching positions in higher education.
