    Career Outcomes: Graduates may pursue careers in teaching, coaching, fitness training, or health education. Potential job titles include physical education teacher, athletic coach, and personal trainer.

The Physical Education Department offers activities that will satisfy graduation requirements and be of carry-over value and of recreational interest to students. This program also carries service courses that may be taken as an elective for the non-major or required courses towards a major in Physical Education.
