The Physical Education minor is offered through the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University for students who want to understand health and fitness issues affecting children in the public school system. You'll study social issues connected to physical education and sport, popular dance, human nutrition, and the causes and management of sports injuries. As a minor, the credential is completed alongside a student's primary bachelor's degree program rather than on its own, adding a physical-education focus to another major such as education, kinesiology, or a related field. Coursework combines theoretical study of the social and health dimensions of physical activity with more applied topics such as dance and injury care, giving students a working knowledge of physical education as it is taught and experienced in schools. The minor is intended for students preparing for roles that involve working with children and youth around movement, wellness, and physical activity, including future teachers and school-based practitioners. Further programme details, including current course requirements, are published in Simon Fraser University's Academic Calendar under the Faculty of Education.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Physical Education, Secondary Teaching and Social Justice in Education are minors, and Literacy Instruction a certificate, housed in the Faculty of Education; none has its own published entrance average. Social Justice in Education states it 'may be added to any degree,' and Literacy Instruction is added to a student's major through a faculty advisor, so the base direct-entry route is the Faculty of Education's Bachelor of General Studies. BC/Yukon applicants need a minimum of five approved Grade 12 courses, including English Studies 12 or English First Peoples 12 at a minimum of 70 percent, or the equivalent AP or IB course. Grade 11 prerequisites include English 11, Math 11 or Foundations of Mathematics/Pre-Calculus 11, one approved science course, and one Social Studies 11 course. At Grade 12, Course List A requires the English course plus two further courses from a broad approved list spanning humanities, science and social-science subjects. Admission is holistic across all approved Grade 11 and 12 marks; SFU publishes no fixed minimum competitive average for the Bachelor of General Studies route.
