Master of Science in Physical Education

The Master of Science degree in Physical Education offers advanced study in movement education for physical educators. The Master of Science in Physical Education Traditional Program is ideal for those physical Educators who already hold a teaching certification and a bachelors degree in physical education. The Master of Science in Physical Education Alternative Fifth Year Program (Alt-A) is ideal for those that currently hold a BS in another subject (other than physical education) but are seeking teacher certification. These programs are recognized and approved by the Alabama State Department of Education as teacher certification programs, thus carrying the masters level pay increase. The Master of Science in Physical Education Programs are jointly shared between The School of Allied Health and the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences. Students will only be admitted in Term 1 for the MS PE traditional (which is offered completely online) & Term 1 or Fall semester for MS PE Alt A (which is offered as a blended program).
