Purpose
Physical Education and Sport Science (PESS) exists within the College of Education and is under the Department of Education. Through traditional methods, the faculty prepare majors to become physical education teachers and coaches. The physical education major leads to a Bachelor of Science (teaching) degree. In addition, PESS offers numerous physical education courses that fulfill the 2-semester hour MnTransfer curriculum (MnTC) and General Education requirement for Physical Development and Wellness.
Career Opportunities
Graduates in the physical education major are employed as K-12 educators in private and public schools. Students can expand their career options by combining a health education major and a coaching minor and/or an adapted physical education licensure with the physical education major.
Pass/No Credit (P/NC) Courses
Students majoring or minoring in PESS programs must take all courses in the major, minor, and options on a grade-only basis. Courses offered for pass/no credit-only or grade-only are so designated in the course descriptions. If no grading method is listed for a particular course in the course descriptions, the course may be taken for either grade or pass/no credit.
