Bachelor of Science Degree (Physical Education and Sport)

 The Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education and Sport provides greater emphasis on subject matter/content and less on pedagogy. Students who select this emphasis area generally apply their knowledge in fields of exercise science, community and corporate fitness, cardiac rehabilitation, pre-physical therapy, and/or executive fitness programming. Requirements for the degree in Physical Education and Sport include:
  1. the university's Liberal Studies requirements;
  2. 31 credit hours in the HPE Core; and
  3. nineteen credits from the Physical Education and Sport requirements.

In addition, the Department of Health and Physical Education has developed two programs approved by the National YMCA Physical Education Office to provide for the professional preparation of YMCA aquatic directors and physical directors. Both programs emphasize high standards and are vitally concerned with the major objectives of YMCA physical education. Specialized "Y" courses are offered through the IUP Aquatic School, through the annual Middle Atlantic Region Aquatic Institute held at IUP each spring, and through other special YMCA programs conducted on the IUP campus and sponsored in cooperation with the Middle Atlantic Region Physical Education Program.
