The mission of the
Department of Physical Education’s curriculum and faculty
members is to prepare majors to become competent leaders in
Physical Education and its related areas. While many
graduates from the Physical Education program enter the
teaching and coaching profession, others enter graduate
school or professional schools to pursue careers such as
physical therapy, or find employment in recreational
settings or sports related business.
Physical Education majors are
expected to become independent thinkers and learners. Students’
records outside of the classroom are important as well. They are
encouraged to be an active part of the Physical Education
Majors’ Club, attend professional meetings, conduct and present
student research, and actively participate in campus life.
Students majoring in Physical Education may select one of three
concentrations from within the physical education major:
Leisure Services, Sport Management, or Teacher
Certification. Students electing a minor from the Department
may choose Coaching or Sport Management.
Founded in 1856, Newberry is
affiliated with the South Carolina, Southeastern,
Florida-Bahamas, and Caribbean Synods of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America.
