The physical education and health major focuses on those preparing to teach and coach in elementary and secondary schools or planning to enter related careers. The program also serves the entire student body through the general education program which emphasizes the improvement of one's self-image and the development of strategies and attitudes for wholesome and meaningful fitness and health that will carry over into adult life. The discipline is rooted in the premise that human beings are created in the image of God and that, for the Christian, the body is the very residence of the Holy Spirit.
