The mission of the Department of Health and Human Performance is to prepare quality teachers, coaches, fitness and recreation leaders who will enrich and support the well-being of others; help all individuals live healthy, satisfying, and energetic lives; and cultivate a commitment to physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices.
The health and human performance major provides students with three options:
Option I: Comprehensive K-12 Physical Education (teacher certification; no minor required)
Option II: Health and Human Performance Studies (non-certifiable option; minor required)
Option III: Health Education (teacher certification; minor required)
Students from all disciplines are encouraged to enjoy the opportunities provided through minors in health education, coaching, dance education, or outdoor education. An Adapted Physical Education minor is also available for students seeking K-12 physical education certification or for teachers who are already certified in K-12 physical education.
As listed on the UW-RF website.
