The curriculum also promotes the student’s<br />
professional competence through research and<br />
the study of the sciences applied to physical<br />
activities and sports. Another aspect of the<br />
program focuses on promoting student’s<br />
development and maintenance of health and skill<br />
related fitness, enjoyment of leisure activities,<br />
and leadership in recreational and sports<br />
activities in their communities.<br />
A student will be able to complete the selected<br />
program in four years without having to study<br />
during summer session programs. According to<br />
our University’s official regulations, the selected<br />
program must be completed within eight years.<br />
The Department of Physical Education requires a<br />
student to pass each and every one of the courses<br />
which are classified within the major field of<br />
study with a minimum “C” grade.<br />
The Puerto Rico Department of Education<br />
requires for teacher certification additional<br />
courses, 2.5 GPA, and a 2.85 GPA in the area of<br />
specialization which are all subject to change.<br />
Students are advised to continuously inquire on<br />
