Masters of Science in Education/Physical Education Pedagogy

The Masters of Science in Education/Physical Education Pedagogy is dedicated to providing physical education teachers with an understanding of the research base as well as pedagogical content knowledge. Students acquire the tools necessary to read, understand, critique and conduct research in physical education. The program has been designed to spark an intellectual curiosity related to the knowledge base of physical education, the promotion of physical activity and the design and use of culturally relevant curricula. Graduates will have a strong understanding of issues around diversity as they relate to effective teaching and curricular development in physical education. Students will become agents of change through the development of leadership, advocacy and mentorship skills. Graduates of this program will be reflective individuals who are passionate, enthusiastic and committed to the profession of physical education.

This course of study prepares students for careers in teaching. The successful completion of a Master’s Degree in Education through the Physical Education Pedagogy track will satisfy the Master’s Degree Requirement for those holding initial certification in Physical Education.  In addition, this plan of study can be completed online.
