Physical Education and Health
The Physical Education and Health Teacher Licensure program prepares you for a career as a professional educator, mentor and leader trained to shape the physically active lifestyles of K-12 children. Whether you’re sharing strategies for healthier living in gymnasiums or classrooms or improving outcomes as a school leader, you positively influence people’s physical and mental health.
Kean physical education majors benefit from rich academics and extensive fieldwork that prepare them for certification and outstanding careers as teachers, coaches and yoga instructors.
Successful graduates are eligible for New Jersey's Certificate of Eligibility with Advanced Standing (CEAS) license with certification in Health Education. In addition to Physical Education and Health, the Driver's Education and Yoga Training certification are available opportunities within the program.
