Program details
Overview
Physical Education at the University of Lethbridge is offered through the Department of Kinesiology and Physical Education on the Lethbridge campus, with fall intake and a February 1 application deadline. It is available as three credential paths: a combined Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Education, a combined Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education, and a Bachelor of Education after an approved undergraduate degree. Coursework covers the role of physical activity in lifestyle, motivation, anatomy, psychology, and the history of physical education, paired with teaching methods for education majors; sample courses include Wellness and Physical Activity, Children's Dance, History of Canadian Education, and Ethics of Teaching. The program can be combined with a major in Kinesiology or with the General Major in Social Sciences. Combined-degree applicants must meet admission requirements for their non-education degree, and transfer applicants need a minimum 2.0 GPA; the Faculty of Education requires two years of pre-education study before students can apply for competitive admission. The program builds general and subject-specific instructional preparation for teaching. It suits students planning to teach physical education or work in school, coaching, or recreation settings, who want both a content-area credential and formal teacher preparation.
