Physical Education
Society today is becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of health and wellness. The desire for a longer life of higher quality, and the goal of managing health care costs, are among the reasons the science and profession of physical education is of growing importance and relevance.
Majoring in physical education thus provides students the
opportunity to develop their professional skills and contribute
to the future health of our nation. Physical education is a
rewarding profession, and one that teaches physical, cognitive,
and affective skills and concepts.
The program is designed to
give beginning teachers the fundamental background, concepts,
and skills required to be effective, either as physical
education teachers in school systems or in the private sector,
such as health/fitness clubs. Students will benefit from the
small class size and immediate feedback from professors while
attending CMU.
