Physical Education Teacher Education Major

Physical Education Teacher Education Major

Description

The teacher education program leads to "initial certification" to teach physical education in grades PreK-12 in New York State. To obtain "professional certification" students must earn a master’s degree within five years of initial certification. This program also certifies successful candidates to coach in New York. Depending on how students meet requirements in General Education, the academic major in physical education, and in teacher certification, it may take more than 120 credits to complete this program. Careful advisement is important for timely graduation.
