Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Physical Education] From Bridgewater State University

All students majoring in physical education and seeking a Bachelor of Science degree must complete a minimum of 120 credits required for graduation and must complete a designated area of study identified as a concentration. The department offers seven concentrations. Two of the concentrations lead to initial teacher licensure in physical education, one at the PreK-8 level and one at the 5-12 level. The other concentrations have been developed to prepare graduates to pursue career opportunities in community-based organizations such as business, industry, agencies and hospitals. These programs, which include field experiences in various settings in the community, have expanded the role of the professional in the fields of physical education and health promotion beyond the teaching environment in schools, thus preparing the graduate for new career opportunities.
