Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Majors, Options, and Minors

The K-12 Teaching option is for those interested in becoming physical educators in the school system. It is strongly advised that all students interested in the K-12 Teaching option consult with an advisor in the Teacher Education Department to ensure that all licensure requirements are met.

The Exercise Science K-12 Teaching option gives high-quality academic preparation to students who wish to become Colorado licensed K-12 physical education teachers. This option is extremely demanding and requires careful planning and advising. Students choosing this option should consult an Exercise Science Department advisor as early as possible in their careers, and should read the Teacher Education Licensure Program  section of this catalog for the steps and requirements for applying to the Teacher Education Licensure Program and requirements for completing the program.
