The Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) Program of the School
of Physical Education is focused on the preparation of physical educators. Graduates in physical education with teaching certification are generally employed as
elementary or secondary health and/or physical education teachers and athletic coaches.

program has established itself as a national leader in teacher training in
physical education. The program provides a unique approach to skill
analysis with computer assisted interaction video instruction which
enables students to gain needed hands-on experience in teaching movement
and sport skills.
