| 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 high school students, combining education theory with the science of human movement and fitness. Unlike a standard bachelor of education, this concurrent program integrates your teaching credentials with specialized knowledge in exercise physiology and sport science from the start, so you graduate ready to teach those specific subjects. This suits people who want to coach or teach PE/health at the secondary level and prefer learning subject content alongside teaching methods rather than studying them separately. | You study the science of human movement and fitness combined with teaching and coaching methods. This program integrates exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport psychology with practical skills in coaching athletes and leading fitness programs. Unlike a pure kinesiology degree, this one prepares you directly for careers coaching teams or instructing fitness classes. It suits people who want to work in sports, recreation, or wellness settings and learn both the scientific reasoning and hands-on teaching side. | Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and sport from biological and physiological angles. You learn how the body works during physical activity, nutrition science, and injury prevention. The co-op option lets you earn work experience in fitness facilities, sports medicine, or health organizations while completing your degree, which suits students who want practical experience alongside classroom learning. |
