1. a bachelor's degree
2. an acceptable grade point average
3. an undergraduate degree in physical education*
4. evidence of qualification for a teaching certificate in physical education* and
5. the development of an approved Course of Study.

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.
