The physical education courses required for this certification are offered through the Department of Kinesiology (formerly Exercise and Movement Science). The 18 credit health requirement is met through courses offered in the Department of Public Health. This coursework prepares the student to address a variety of issues contained in the K-12 health curriculum.
