Valpo Physical Education Majors do more than just stay in shape. They enjoy hands-on training in such areas as kinesiology, teaching, coaching, and learn how to help others live healthily.
Our department offers three distinct undergraduate programs; Teacher Education, Sports Management, and Exercise Science, as well as concentrations in Health & Safety, and Coaching. Any of these programs may be combined with other areas of interest for an individualized program of study. All major physical education programs lead to a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education Degree.
The department also offers a Masters of Science in Sports Administration.
The programs in the Department of Physical Education are designed to offer students a knowledge of physical education in its theoretical and practical phases. Education is the foundation upon which the physical education programs at Valparaiso University have been established. Intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical, and social components combine to form the fundamental tenet of total personal health and fitness.
