The physical education department at Coe College provides two different study tracts from which students have the opportunity to choose from. There is teacher preparation for those students who want to be actively involved in the promotion of physical lifestyles through an education setting. These students are interested in being part of a school setting where they could be teaching any grade level kindergarten through twelfth grade. Students in this tract usually pursue and added teaching endorsement of health for their license, thus making them more marketable. Many students elect to pursue our Fitness Development tract.
