Thank you for visiting the WKU Physical Education website.

We are in the School of Kinesiology, Recreation and Sport and offer a Bachelor of Science degree with three concentrations: Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE), Physical Education Health Education (HETE), and Physical Education Movement Studies (PEMS). We also offer a minor and certificate in Athletic Coaching.

We prepare students for many occupations and professions. One of the most frequently pursued is teaching in K-12. However, many other options exist such as: corporate wellness, fitness, wellness instructors, activity directors, occpational therapy (provided you meet the prerequisites), and a host of other PE and Health teaching focused occupations in the business community. Students who complete the teacher certification process will be eligible to be recommended for a teaching endorsement in the State of Kentucky.
