Credit to be determined.DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION ANDEXERCISE SCIENCEProfessor John Herring, ChairMissionThe mission of the Department of Physical Education and Exercise Science is to prepare professionalsat the undergraduate level through excellence in teaching, research and service so that they may encourageenhanced performance and quality of life of all citizens through active lifestyles and lifetime physicalactivity.Goals1. The purposes of the CORE requirement in Wellness are to provide students with opportunities andknowledge to increase their present level of physical fitness and well being.2. Graduates with a major in Applied Exercise Science will be prepared to enter graduate programsin Exercise Science and related fields or graduate programs in Physical Therapy and its relatedfields. Graduates may obtain employment in various aspects of the health and fitness industry.Graduates who are interested in careers in Physical Therapy or its related fields must attendgraduate school in order to obtain the licensure required.3. Graduates with a major in Physical Education Teaching (PET) will have the skills and knowledgenecessary to become effective Physical Education teachers. Students who earn a major in physicaleducation, with teacher licensure, are qualified to teach physical education in grades K-12 in NorthCarolina and many other states. Students who earn a major in physical education without teacherlicensure usually go on to graduate school or seek employment in physical education and exerciserelated fields.203
