The physical education tracks focus on methodology for teaching physical education. For studies at the doctoral level, available tracks include adapted physical education and sports medicine/exercise science.
Graduates pursue careers in athletic training, physical education, personal training and fitness, rehabilitation counseling, and allied health professions such as physical therapy and sports medicine.
