Either degree program provides students with knowledge about the value of preventive and corrective health practices and the opportunity to participate in physical activities to enhance overall well-being.
Knowledge of preventative and corrective practices is gained through course offerings such as Diet and Nutrition for Active Lifestyles, Introduction to Health and Physical Education, Lifetime Health and Fitness, Psychosocial Dimensions of Health, and Social and Individual Health Determinants. Courses like Exercise and Weight Management, First Aid, Relaxation and Massage, and Stress Management allow for students to apply the knowledge they gain from the coursework into practical skill application. The faculty highly recommend that all students enroll early in PE 131 Introduction to Health and Physical Education, as this course will provide information about career options in health and fitness-related fields, and will give guidance on how best to prepare for these careers.
Physical activity is provided through three distinct learning and participation opportunities: lifetime recreational skills; developmental courses, which stress conditioning of the body and maintenance of a specific level of physical conditioning; and team sport courses, which provide a high level of conditioning and competition. Coursework in this is provided with a variety of physical education activity classes like basketball, dance, bowling, golf, pilates, tennis, weight training, or yoga. Intercollegiate athletics are offered in men’ s basketball and women’ s volleyball. If you are interested in intercollegiate athletics, contacting the coach of the respective program is recommended: Men’ s Basketball- Randy Falk; Women’ s Volleyball- Jayme Frazier.
