They are able to fully participate in the workings of a successful, intercollegiate athletic program. This experience is invaluable training and preparation for a coaching career. As with all areas of education, field experiences in area school districts are a large part of this program. Classes take many opportunities to put what they are learning into practice in area parks and recreation programs and school gym classes. The classroom and lab facilities in this area leave much to be desired.
None are air-conditioned and they still contain chalk blackboards.
White PE, as a general facility is one of the worst facilities on campus. In addition, the absence of a fitness center with a modern classrooms, fitness testing labs, weight facility, dance studio, etc. eliminate the possibility to provide a wider range of learning opportunities for the athlete as well as the non-athlete.
