To be admitted into the Professional Education Sequence and to qualify for graduation, students majoring in physical education must have both a 2.75 overall GPA and a 2.50 GPA in the major. Students can expand their career options by taking dual majors, minors, adapted physical education licensure, or a coaching minor.
