Physical Education and Health B.S.
Major Check Sheet
The Bachelor of Science in Physical Education and Health (BS.PEH) is for students who want to work in physical activity and health related fields, but not teach in a public school setting. Therefore, they are not eligible for teaching credentials. This option will prepare students for a variety of careers which are health and physical activity based. Students will be able to move into the workforce in roles such as wellness coordinators, coaches, and other positions in the health and fitness industry; and will be graduate school ready if they are so inclined. For additional information, please contact Professor Lynda Butler-Storsved
