In addition to the roles listed above, they will be prepared to pursue clinical or applied graduate degrees in the Kinesiology and Exercise Science fields.
Health & Physical Education Pedagogy Concentration is for students who wish to pursue teaching Health and Physical Education in the K-12 school setting. They will complete the Kinesiology major along with the identified concentration courses and teacher certification courses.
