The Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.E.) for K-12 Physical Education & Health requires 120 credit hours, equipping graduates to become certified teachers and coaches for kindergarten through 12th grade. After finishing the degree and passing the necessary Praxis examinations, students receive standard teaching certification along with a coaching endorsement. This program incorporates all Coaching Endorsement prerequisites, allowing graduates to obtain this additional qualification alongside their teaching license.
Arkansas's Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has approved this K-12 Physical Education & Health curriculum, ensuring it fulfills the state's licensure standards. While most classes are conducted in-person at Southern Arkansas University (SAU), the program also includes hybrid and online course options. These flexible learning formats enable students to tailor their academic schedules to better accommodate personal commitments and professional goals.
