The
physical education option provides students with the educational
preparation for a career in the teaching profession. Students receive all-level certification (K-12) upon successful completion of the major and a state-administered exam. In order to graduate with a PEAL degree, students must maintain a 2.5 or better cumulative GPA, earn a "C" or better in all courses required to complete the major, be in good standing academically with the University and comply with University policies. In order to earn a teaching certification, students must meet and comply with the PEAL requirements and the requirements described in the Teacher Education Program section of this catalog. Specific requirements involve criteria for admission and retention to the teacher education program and admission to student teaching. See the College of Education section of the catalog for admission and retention criteria.
