Prepare to teach physical education in junior high and high school. (For information on the preliminary teaching credential, see Education. See the program listing for Adapted Physical Education Added Authorization for credential information.)
Graduates also enter careers as intramural directors, health spa instructors, coaches, recreational directors, sports program directors, and camp directors.
In addition to core academic courses, students enroll in activity courses which help them develop fitness and performance skills. Humboldt’s Human Performance Laboratory offers modern equipment. Other facilities include two gymnasia, an indoor pool, an all-weather track, cross- country trails, a field house, weight room, and stadium.
Kinesiology core (44-47 units) + Physical Education Teaching Concentration (28 units) = 72-75 units for the major.
