| What it is | You study how to teach physical education and health to elementary and junior high students, combining exercise science with teacher training in one four-year degree. Unlike a general education degree, this program embeds sport and fitness knowledge directly into your teaching preparation, so you graduate ready to teach PE specifically. It suits students who want to teach, enjoy movement and health topics, and prefer a focused path over choosing between separate degrees. | You study how to teach physical education and health to middle and high school students, grounded in the science of human movement, exercise, and sport. Unlike a straight kinesiology degree, this program combines your science coursework with teacher training and practicums so you earn your teaching credential while you study. It suits students who want to work with teenagers in schools and have a genuine interest in both the science behind fitness and health education. | You study how to manage sports facilities, recreation programs, and leisure services for communities and organizations. Unlike a general sports science program, this degree focuses on the business and administrative side — scheduling, budgeting, staffing, and customer experience — rather than personal fitness or athletic performance. The co-op work terms, built into the four-year degree, let you apply management skills in real sports and recreation settings while you study. |
