The courses required for a major in health and physical education or recreation areas are varied depending on the area of interest and the transfer institution. A two-year plan of study is completed by the student and advisor choosing from the following list of courses and following guidelines from the intended transfer institution.

The two degree offerings--Associate of Arts and Associate of Science--are relatively the same except for the emphasis in arts versus the emphasis in sciences. Both degrees are transferable to four-year institutions. Additional requirements from the transfer instituions may apply.

Education majors may be required to pass the Pre-Professional Skills Test in reading, writing, and mathematics during their freshman or early sophomore year, before admittance to a teacher’s education program at some universities. Students are urged to check P.P.S.T. requirements at other institutions.
