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.
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.
Note: Most 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 Academic Program, School of Recreation and Sport Sciences, Ohio University, Grover Center, Athens OH 45701-0689.

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.

Note: Because of changing state standards, additional or replacement courses are under development. Check with your advisor for current information.

You also need to complete the general education requirements listed for health education (see "Health Education" in this section). 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). To graduate in this major, you must complete all College of Education requirements. Upon completion of the program and after passing the NTE core/battery and health education specialty tests, you are eligible for a four-year provisional teaching certificate in health education.

Physical Education

Major code BS8106

A major in physical education prepares you to teach physical education at the elementary and secondary school levels (K-12 teaching certificate). You must be a physical education major for at least one academic year (3 quarters) immediately before graduation to be granted a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education.

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 in this major, you must complete all College of Education requirements. Upon completion of the program and after passing the NTE core battery tests and physical education specialty test, you are eligible for a four-year provisional teaching certificate in physical education.

Required General Education Courses

Ohio requirements for teacher certification state that to apply for a teaching certificate you must complete 45 quarter hours of general education courses well distributed in the areas of science and mathematics, social sciences, English and/or foreign language, and comparative arts and/or philosophy.

You also must complete Ohio University's General Education Requirements (see General Education Requirements section). Work closely with your faculty advisor to make certain that both sets of requirements are met.

The breakdown of these general education course requirements is:

Science and Mathematics

You are required to complete at least one course in science and one course in mathematics. BIOL 101 Principles of Biology is required. Any Tier I quantitative skills course or any course in the Department of Mathematics except 101, 102, or 320 is acceptable for the mathematics requirement. Computer science courses, with the exception of CS 220, do not satisfy this requirement.

Comparative Arts and/or Philosophy

You are required to complete at least two courses in this area. The two courses need not be in the same field. Possibilities include any course in the Department of Philosophy or School of Comparative Arts; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, or 309; theater history courses; or any course in the School of Art (except for ART 360, 461, 462), or the School of Music (except music education courses, music therapy courses, and one and two hour participation courses).

Social Sciences

You are required to complete at least two courses in social sciences. The two courses need not be in the same field. PSY 101, which is required, is included as one of the social sciences courses. Other possibilities include any course in anthropology, economics, economic education, history, political science, sociology, social work, geography, and psychology, except PSY 120, 221, 226, 275, 312, and 314.

English and/or Foreign Language

You are required to complete at least two courses in English and/or foreign language. The two courses need not be in the same field. Freshman and junior English composition courses taken to satisfy the university English composition requirement (see "General Education Requirements" in the Graduation Requirements section) may be used toward completion of these hours. In addition, INCO 103 is a specific requirement in this area. Possibilities in this area include all English courses except ENG 451 and 452; any linguistics course; any foreign language course except ML 410 and 445; HUM 107, 108, 109, 307, 308, and 309. (These humanities courses may NOT count toward the General Education Requirements in both the English and/or foreign language field and the comparative arts and/or philosophy field.)

If two courses in each of the above fields do not add up to a total of 45 hours, you must select sufficient hours in one or a combination of the above areas to bring the total hours in general education courses to 45 hours.
