---

Physical Education and Sport Sciences programs have been designed to promote basic knowledge in human movement, to provide contemporary professional curricula, and to offer diverse activity programs that provide for the development of motor skills and physical fitness for all students. In addition to three major offerings, a minor in coaching is also available.

---

The Recreation Studies curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive program that includes both basic and practical knowledge in the field of recreation. Both major and minor curricula are offered.

For information about the program, go to our Web site at: https://www.ohio.edu/~rspsdept/index.htm .

Note: Courses offered through the School of Recreation and Sport Sciences can be retaken up to two times (i.e., one initial registration and two retakes). Variable-credit courses usually cannot be retaken (i.e., with the initial grade being removed), but can be repeated for credit to count toward your degree. While no limit has been set for repeats of PED courses, individual majors, schools, departments, and colleges may limit the number of such hours that can count toward graduation.

Athletic Training

Selected admission to the major is gained through an on-campus interview and the completion of curriculum application materials, in addition to the regular university application materials, before February 1. For information on how to apply, contact the Athletic Training Education Office, School of Recreation and Sport Sciences, Ohio University, Athens OH 45701-0689, or phone 740-593-4649.

If you are selected for the program, you are required to show proof of a hepatitis B vaccination before you enroll. You must complete a minimum of 800 hours of clinical experience between your sophomore and senior years. Successful completion of the program qualifies you to take the National Athletic Trainers' Association Inc., Certification Examination and the State of Ohio Athletic Trainer Licensure Examination. You are awarded the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training upon completion of the program.

Physical Education and Sport Sciences

Physical Education and Sport Sciences includes three major areas of specialization: physical education with an emphasis on teaching PreK-Grade 12, exercise physiology, and sport industry.

In order to be granted a degree in either physical education or sport sciences, you must be a declared major for at least one academic year (three quarters) immediately before graduation. No more than three quarter hours of credit in each of the following courses will count toward the 192 hours needed for graduation:

Physical Education
Major code BS8106

A major in physical education prepares you to teach physical education from prekindergarten through grade twelve (PreK-12 teaching license). You must meet the criteria for selective admission to and retention in teacher education as established by the College of Education (see Admission to Professional Education in the College of Education section for further information). To graduate and receive your teaching license in this major, you must complete all College of Education requirements in addition to program requirements. Upon completion of the program and after passing the Praxis II exam, you are eligible for a provisional teaching license in physical education. You will be granted a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education upon successful completion of all requirements.

Required General Education Courses

Ohio requirements for teacher licensure state that you must complete a general studies program that include the arts, communications, history, literature, mathematics, philosophy, sciences and the social sciences. In addition, the general studies curriculum should incorporate multicultural and global perspectives. You should work closely with your faculty advisor to select courses that would fulfill both Ohio University's General Education Requirements (see the Graduation Requirements section) and the requirements for teacher licensure.

Specific Tier II courses requirements in this major are:

BIOL 101  Principles of Biology             5 or
BIOS 103  Human Biology                     5

PSY  101  General Psychology                5

In addition, you must complete INCO 103 Fundamentals of Public Speaking before you can apply for admission into Professional Education in the College of Education.
