The Department of Health and Physical Education offers two curriculum patterns leading to the MEd degree. One option is designed to meet the needs of certified teachers who teach or administer programs of health (HLEA) or physical education (PHEA) in public or private schools. The second option is available to individuals from allied fields of study which do not offer or provide for teacher certification or individuals who have a minor (15 cr.) in health (HLEB) and/or physical education (PHEB). Those who complete the program under the second option will receive a diploma but will not receive teacher certification.
