In
a liberal arts curriculum, the study of physical education provides
balance to educate both the mind and the body. A major in physical education
and sport can take you in different directions such as: teaching, coaching,
rehabilitation, therapy, sports, recreation, community health, intramural,
and wellness programs.
At.
St. Andrews we combine a strong liberal arts curriculum with an uncommon
flexibility in your choice of major. You may choose: 1) Physical education
with certification in K-12;
2)
Physical education with sport management or coaching concentration.
This flexibility is made possible through three St. Andrews assets:
excellent faculty, unique interdisciplinary program of study, and our
early semester system.
With
an overall student-to-faculty ratio of 10:1, St. Andrews professors
take time to listen, to care, and to become directly involved in your
education. Your professors personalized attention is an invaluable
resource, given the highly personal nature of discovering your individual
strengths and interests. You will find yourself quickly involved in
and challenged by each class discussion, where your contributions will
be heard in a spirit of inquiry and openness.
The
St. Andrews SAGE interdisciplinary curriculum cuts across traditional
boundaries separating the academic disciplines to provide a global perspective
and foster critical thinking. Educating the whole person, courses explore
values and inspire committed action that you may pass on to your students.
