The Department promotes in the Health and Human Performance student the desire to fully develop the ability to constructively use all of his/her potential capacities for movement, movement analysis, and movement education. Training and experiences are provided that will enhance the student?s skills and knowledge in exercise science, communication, creative self-expression, critical reflection, research, and leadership in the classroom and activity settings.

The Health and Human Performance: Teaching P-12 has an established curriculum leading to teaching certification. Students interested in the Health and Human Performance major or the Health and Human Performance: Teaching P-12 major should contact a departmental faculty member as early as possible in their College career to explore areas of concentration.
