Wright State's health and physical education program prepares you to become an outstanding teacher who encourages active, healthy living. As one of Ohio's rare four-year undergraduate programs offering dual licensure in both health and physical education, Wright State emphasizes three core values: readiness, engagement, and distinction. The university's programs hold accreditation from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation and full approval from the Ohio Department of Higher Education, satisfying all requirements for Ohio's 4-Year Resident Educator teaching license. Earning a B.S.Ed. in health and physical education fulfills the educational criteria for Ohio's Resident Educator Multi-Age License in both Health Education and Physical Education, as governed by the Ohio Department of Education. Since licensing rules differ across states, we cannot confirm if this program meets requirements outside Ohio. Those seeking professional licensure in other states should consult their state's licensing authority for specific regulations. The program provides current, practical training including Youth Mental Health First Aid and other professional growth opportunities aligned with Ohio's whole-child education strategy.
