A program for the satisfaction of these requirements may be arranged with
advisers in the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation.
Physical Education
THE BASIC UNDERGRADUATE CURRICULUM in physical education,
leading to the Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Physical Education degree, provides
a strong program of professional work. During his freshman and sophomore
years, the student obtains a sound foundation in the liberal arts and in the sciences
basic to professional studies, supplemented by introductory instruction in physicaleducation
theory and activities. The upper-division program is devoted principally
to professional studies.
The basic program is planned to satisfy the usual needs of the student planning
to teach physical education in the public schools; it includes sufficient work in
health education to enable him to qualify for positions which require the teaching
of both physical education and health education. Modifications of this program
may be arranged for students with special interests in such fields as the dance,
social studies, and physical therapy.
Superior students who are interested in preparing for careers in the scientific
and research aspects of physical education may arrange a program in which
greater concentration in biology, physiology, chemistry, and mathematics is
substituted for certain courses directly related to preparation for secondary-school
teaching.

approval of the dean of the School of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation,
substitute selected social science courses f01' a portion of the science requirement

curriculum in the dance as a contemporary art form (see pages 311-313).
