PURPOSE

The Department of Physical Education and Sport Science (PESS) exists within the College of Education. Through traditional methods, the faculty prepare majors to become physical education teachers and coaches. The physical education major leads to a Bachelor of Science (teaching) degree. In addition, the department offers numerous physical education courses that fulfill the 2-semester hour University Studies requirement for Physical Development and Wellness.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Graduates in the physical education major are employed as K-12 educators in private and public schools. Students can expand their career options by combining a health education major and a coaching minor and/or an adapted physical education licensure with the physical education major.

DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS
• B.S. Major: Physical Education (Teaching)
• B.S. Minor: Coaching
• Developmental Adapted Physical Education Licensure

PASS/NO CREDIT (P/NC) COURSES
Students majoring or minoring in PESS programs must take all courses in the major, minor, and options on a grade-only basis except for PESS 190, which is a P/NC-Only course. Courses offered for pass/no credit-only or grade-only are so designated in the course descriptions. If no grading method is listed for a particular course in the course descriptions, the course may be taken for either grade or pass/no credit.

B.S. MAJOR - PHYSICAL EDUCATION (Teaching) (PET)
49 S.H. (No minor required)

Teaching majors must take all courses in the Professional Education Sequence in addition to courses in the content area. Refer to the Professional Education Sequence in the Education Department’s section of this catalog (page 90).
Notes:
1. Professional Education Sequence courses require formal admission to the teacher education program. (See page 91, “Admission to the WSU Teacher Education Program.”)
2. The College of Education plans to restructure some program offerings in 2007-2008. As a result, the content, numbering, and/or credit hours for Professional Education Sequence courses will likely be revised after this catalog goes to print. To obtain the latest course requirements, please refer to the current program sheets, which are available from the department office or online at www.winona.edu/education/advising.
To be admitted into the Professional Education Sequence and to qualify for graduation, students majoring in physical education must have both a 2.75 overall GPA and a 2.5 GPA in the major. Students can expand their career options by taking dual majors, minors, adapted physical education licensure, or a coaching minor.
