PHYSICAL EDUCATION/EXERCISE SCIENCE
All physical education department programs meet Trinity’s general education
requirements of an oral communication course, field education, and capstone
requirement. Students meet the oral communication requirement of general education
by taking Communication Arts 101; [the field education requirement is met by a
student teaching internship (if a physical education-teaching major) or by a field
education experience if an exercise science or leisure and sports studies major] the
capstone requirement is met through Physical Education 401 for all majors.
The physical education teacher education program prepares students to be excellent
teachers and coaches. Graduates attain a K-12 teaching specialist certificate through
the state of Illinois.
The exercise science major is designed for students interested in strength and
conditioning as well as preparation to be personal trainers or fitness specialists.
The sport and leisure studies major prepares students for a career in entry level
positions in youth agencies with sport programs, recreation centers, sports ministry
organizations, intramurals and others within the sports industry. |
