In addition to the Kinesiology core, students complete coursework specifically designed to prepare them for the State of Texas Teacher Certification Exams. The College of Health Science and The College of Education (Sports Science, Health and Human Performance, Curriculum and Instruction, and Psychological Sciences) collaborate to deliver the program that culminates with the clinical teaching experience, graduation, and State certification in All-Level Physical Education. Students graduating from this program are eligible for teacher certification recommendations<strong>.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program requires acceptance into the Teacher Education Program (<strong>TEP<\/strong>). After students have completed 60 credit hours, they are eligible to apply. Because of the number of planning considerations and the sequential nature of this program, students are highly encouraged to meet with academic advisors&nbsp;as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coursework:<\/strong>&nbsp;Please see Advisor for coursework.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Degree Completion Options:<\/strong>&nbsp;Master of Science in Kinesiology, Certified Teachers&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-container advgb-blocks-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignfull\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-3ad52596-a630-4880-be09-f48ed06df572\" href=\"https:\/\/tarleton.kualihub.com\/app\/6980bae81e1663028a923953\/start\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>Request More Information about the Physical Education Teacher Education Program<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.advgbbtn-3ad52596-a630-4880-be09-f48ed06df572{font-size:18px;color:#ffffff !important;background-color:#4f2d7f !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-color:#4f2d7f !important;border-style:solid !important;border-radius:0px !important;}.advgbbtn-3ad52596-a630-4880-be09-f48ed06df572:hover{color:#4f2d7f !important;background-color:#ffffff !important;box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-3ad52596-a630-4880-be09-f48ed06df572 > i {font-size:30px;color:inherit;float:left;margin-right:7px;}.advgbbtn-3ad52596-a630-4880-be09-f48ed06df572{font-size:18px;color:#ffffff !important;background-color:#4f2d7f !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-color:#4f2d7f !important;border-style:solid !important;border-radius:0px !important;}.advgbbtn-3ad52596-a630-4880-be09-f48ed06df572:hover{color:#4f2d7f !important;background-color:#ffffff !important;box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-3ad52596-a630-4880-be09-f48ed06df572 > i {font-size:30px;color:inherit;float:left;margin-right:7px;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) Major:&nbsp;Kinesiology Degree Awarded:&nbsp;Bachelor of Science Total Credit Hours:&nbsp;120 About the program:&nbsp;The PETE concentration is designed for students who seek careers as teachers\/coaches in the schools &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":580,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-fullwidth.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-988","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/author\/kyle-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-3\/","display_name":"kyle"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 4 years ago","modified":"Updated 3 months ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on August 5, 2022","modified":"Updated on February 2, 2026"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on August 5, 2022 8:26 pm","modified":"Updated on February 2, 2026 3:07 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"","featured_img":false,"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=988"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/988\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2029,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/988\/revisions\/2029"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/kinesiology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
