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.) professional studies degree programs are designed to meet the needs of practicing professionals in education and human development fields. Students admitted typically have interests in improving their current professional practice and applying their education in their current work responsibilities. The 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 subplans in K-12 physical education, health education, and developmental and adapted physical education prepare future educators to assume leadership roles in K-12 schools.
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. Five 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 and adapted physical education (DAPE): prepares students for Minnesota teaching licensure in DAPE for grades preK-12
4. Physical education: designed to help students become inquiring, analytical, and reflective professional educators knowledgeable about the science of movement who are prepared for leadership roles in the schools.
5. Health education: designed to prepare students in important aspects of health and well-being and who are enthusiastic and prepared for leadership roles in the schools.
Note: Candidates for the DAPE M.Ed./additional license must hold a current Minnesota teaching license in physical education.
