Academics

Teaching

• • If you are interested in becoming a teacher, please review CEHD's teaching website. 

  • If you would like to teach K-6, you can major in Elementary Education and go on for your 5th year licensure Master of Education program. 

  • If you would like to teach grades 7-12, you should major in the subject you would like to teach. You will then go on to the Master of Education licensure program in your subject area.

    • There is a program through CEHD called DirecTrack to Teaching for undergraduate students planning to teach high school subjects. This program will help you gain experience at the undergraduate level instead of waiting until the master's program. 

Kinesiology

• • Kinesiology is a popular major because it works well as a "pre-health career" major. This curriculum provides exceptional academic preparation for students interested in graduate and professional programs in athletic training, dentistry, exercise physiology, exercise rehabilitation, occupational therapy, physical education licensure, physical therapy, preventative and rehabilitation medicine, psychology of sport and exercise, sport management, and sport sociology. 

  • PSEO students are able to take all of the prerequisites for the Kinesiology major while in PSEO: 

    • Biol 1001: Introductory Biology (also accepted: Biol 1009 or Biol 1015)

    • Psy 1001: Introduction to Psychology

    • Kin 1871: Survey of Kinesiology, Recreation and Sport (only offered fall semesters)
