Physical Education MSED

Description

At The College at Brockport, the graduate program in physical education provides an opportunity to gain professional certification to teach physical education and to acquire skills and knowledge related to physical education that can contribute to a variety of personal, professional or academic needs of the students. At the successful completion of the program, students are awarded a MSEd in Physical Education.

Admission to the Program

Matriculation into the graduate program depends on several factors, including the attainment of a bachelor's degree (see the Graduate Admissions section of this catalog for further details), an acceptable grade point average, an undergraduate major in physical education, evidence of qualification for an initial teaching certificate in physical education, and the development of an approved Plan of Study. The requirement for an undergraduate degree in physical education and teaching certificate is waived on a case-by-case basis for (a) students wishing to pursue athletic administration or (b) students wishing to pursue a non-certification option in adapted physical education or the general program. Individuals pursuing the non-certification option in adapted physical education must demonstrate a relevant knowledge base, including, at minimum, 12 credits in the professional field of physical education approved by the department. Applications are available online at www.brockport.edu/graduate (see Graduate Admissions section of this catalog for details). For questions, please call the Office of Graduate Admissions at (585) 395-5465; email gradadmit@brockport.edu; or write the Office of Graduate Admissions, The College at Brockport, 350 New Campus Drive, Brockport, NY 14420.

Specific standards for admission are as follows:

  1. Students with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0 and above will be eligible for regular admission status as matriculated students in the PES graduate program.
  2. Students with a cumulative undergraduate GPA of between 2.5 and 2.999 may be recommended for conditional admission. Students granted conditional admission must successfully fulfill a conditional contract established by an advisor. The contract outlines three courses from the student's Conditional Plan of Study that must be completed with a grade of "B" or higher. Once these courses are successfully completed, the student is granted regular admission and may enroll in the remaining courses listed on the regular Plan of Study. Consistent with College policy, any student who earns a grade less than "B" in any graduate course while in conditional status, will be dismissed from graduate study.
  3. Students who apply for graduate study and have less than a 2.5 undergraduate GPA (from the undergraduate institution from which they graduated) will be denied admission to matriculated status.
  4. Graduate courses in the Department of Kinesiology, Sport Studies and Physical Education are not open to non-degree (non-matriculated) students
