Immediate and Exciting Career Opportunities: The Bachelor of Science in Physical Education prepares students for immediate employment or graduate work in the areas of physical education, coaching, and/or working in health centers and recreation facilities. Students are provided with the opportunity to fulfill all instructional, assessment and organizational competencies for licensure in Vermont with an endorsement in Physical Education for grades K-12. PRAXIS I and PRAXIS II examinations are required for all teacher licensure candidates. Vermont licensure is reciprocal in most other states, especially in the eastern United States. Partnerships have been established with Barre Town Elementary School for grades K-8 and Union 32 Jr-Sr High School for grades 7–12, so that students can be exposed to hands-on learning. The physical education program includes a minor in biology as part of its science core. A minor can also be declared in coaching.
