Along with the program-specific requirements listed below, please read the
General Information section of
this
website for requirements that apply to all major fields.
The master of education (M.Ed.) in applied kinesiology examines human movement, physical performance, and organizational structures of sport, exercise and movement science, sport and recreation management, and physical activities for persons with disabilities. The emphasis in K-12 physical education and teacher licensure prepares future educators to teach physical education and assume leadership roles in K-12 schools.
The program prepares students for advanced study or careers in teaching, coaching, health professions, or sport administration.
This graduate-level, practitioner-oriented program is offered by the School of Kinesiology in the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD).
With guidance from faculty advisers, students choose at least 30 semester credits, which may include coursework, independent study, internships, workshops, and professional, site-based experiences. Four program options are available:
1. Sport and exercise science: general preparation in a variety of areas or in-depth preparation in one area of applied kinesiology
2. Sport management: a primary focus on the management of sport and physical activity settings
3. Developmental adapted physical education (DAPE): prepares students for Minnesota teaching licensure in DAPE for grades preK-12
4. The physical education initial licensure program is designed to help the student become an inquiring, analytical, and reflective professional educator who can teach in various venues of the physical education classroom and who is prepared for leadership roles in schools.
Note: Candidates for DAPE licensure must hold a current Minnesota teaching license in physical education.
Accreditation
This program is accredited by National Association for Colleges of Teacher Education (NCATE).

Physical Education
M.Ed./initial licensure programs are for individuals with bachelor degrees who want to become licensed teachers. These graduate-level programs provide rigorous, professional teacher preparation in accordance with the Minnesota Standards for Effective Practice for Teachers and the Physical Education Content Standards adopted by the Minnesota Board of Teaching.
Physical education students enter a 12-month program integrating educational theory with classroom practice. This program is offered by the School of Kinesiology at the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD). Three distinct, 10-week teaching experiences create a strong experiential base on which to apply the principles and methods learned in University classes.
An important advantage of this program is its cohort nature. Students are accepted into the program as a single cohort once each year, beginning classes in June and continuing through June, July, or August of the following year (depending on individual course loads throughout the year). Students begin classes together and continue through their course of study as a single group, building a valuable sense of community. Throughout their student teaching, pre-service teachers work closely with experienced teachers, observing firsthand the daily rewards and challenges of the profession.
This program includes two components: initial licensure and M.Ed. degree. Students complete foundations, methods, and clinical experience coursework for licensure. After successfully completing licensure requirements, which include an "action-research" project, students are recommended for state licensure to teach physical education to grades K-12. After completing a total of 30 semester credits that can be applied to the M.Ed. degree, students are awarded the M.Ed. degree in applied kinesiology. Students have seven years to complete their degree, beginning with the first course(s) used in the program, and must maintain a 2.80 grade point average (GPA) for M.Ed. courses.
Foundations Courses
Throughout the program, students complete courses in foundations of education, including courses on psychological, sociological, philosophical, and theoretical foundations of education. These courses lay the foundation for developing a breadth and depth of knowledge and skills in the field. Inquiry, analysis, and reflection allows prospective teachers to examine educational issues from multiple perspectives. Students must complete:
EPSY 5001 - Learning, Cognition, and Assessment
(3.0 cr)
OLPD 5005 - School and Society
(2.0 cr)
OLPD 5009 - Human Relations: Applied Skills for School and Society
(1.0 cr)
EDHD 5003 {Inactive}
(2.0 cr)
Summer Session (10 weeks)
The curriculum and pedagogy methods courses focus on developing basic instructional techniques and instructional components and knowledge structures for K-5 and 6-12 physical education. Elements of the technology course, which include the use of heart-rate monitors and specific software programs, are integrated into the pedagogy courses.
* Counts toward M.Ed.
Note: Foundations of education courses may not be applied to the M.Ed. program, but are required for licensure.

Health education students enter a 12-15 month program integrating educational theory with classroom practice. This program is offered by the School of Kinesiology at the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD). An extended student teaching experience in local districts creates a strong experiential base on which to apply the principles and methods learned in University classes. An important advantage of this program is its cohort nature. Students are accepted into the program as a single cohort once each year, beginning classes in June and continuing through June, July, or August of the following year (depending on individual course loads throughout the year).
