Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Performance, K-12 Teaching/Coaching option
Everyday heroes, teachers and coaches shape their students' lives. This concentration prepares students to acquire a K-12 teaching license and lead their own classes.
Education students usually participate in classroom observation early on, making sure that they are on the right path. By graduation, students are familiar with the rules of the major youth sports, the principles of physical education and the basics of classroom management. We also encourage students to get an additional endorsement in Health Education, building on the previous courses in the concentration.
