Health and Physical Education
In addition to the health and physical education major, the Health and Human Performance Department offers majors in exercise and sport science and health and wellness management. Students from all disciplines are encouraged to enjoy the opportunities provided through minors in health, coaching or outdoor education. An adapted physical education minor is also available for students seeking K-12 physical education certification or for teachers who are already certified in K-12 physical education. It is highly encouraged for undergraduates to obtain the adapted physical education minor.
