Description
The Kinesiology & Physical Education program provides training and professional experience for teachers and for exercise science specialists that serve as a springboard for a host of exciting careers. Students use the latest technology to measure, analyze and understand human movement and development. They also work with special needs children to help develop appropriate and responsive programs.
The Exercise Science Program focuses on the physiology and biomechanics of human performance. The different options within this program prepare students for a wide range of career possibilities in allied health and business management.
The teaching/coaching certification program emphasizes theory into practice. Even before they begin student teaching, these teachers-in-training are active participants in K-12 school physical education programs. Intensive supervision and peer teaching, with individual analysis and videotape feedback, are hallmarks of the program.
Students applying to transfer into any major within the College of Education and
Human Development must have a minimum 2.5 GPA from an accredited institution or other college within the University of Maine. Students applying to transfer into a teacher education program (i.e., elementary education, secondary education, KPE/teaching option, or early childhood education) should be aware of additional requirements of those majors. After being admitted to the College of Education and
Human Development as a major in a teacher education program, students will be required to complete a teacher candidacy portfolio that includes passing the PRAXIS
I examination.
