Physical education

We offer one of the few physical education licensure programs at the graduate level in the state and one of a small number of licensure programs in Minnesota in developmental/adapted physical education. Students who choose to pursue dual licensure in both areas will find themselves in high demand in school districts looking for teachers qualified to handle both types of classes.

Our faculty are active researchers in the field and also are leaders in the profession, sponsoring such national gatherings as the North American Federation of Adapted Physical Activity Symposium. Because of the depth and breadth of expertise in the College, students in physical education may choose to expand their studies in numerous areas including biomechanics, exercise physiology, sport psychology and sport sociology, human factors research, and motor learning, control, and development.
