The Education Department now includes faculty members in PE and Health who offer programs in physical education, recreation, and sport management, with minors in coaching, adapted physical activities and DAPE (Developmental Adapted Physical Education).
Physical Education teaching majors gain knowledge and experience through courses, fieldwork, service-learning projects, pre-student teaching and student teaching. Education students are placed in the public schools beginning in their freshman Introduction to Education course and this continues throughout their SMSU careers to gain experience in the field. Students may also receive the Developmental Adapted Physical Education (DAPE) licensure upon completion of the minor certifying them to work with students with disabilities. Since licensure to teach is a professional program, formal application for admission to the Education Program is required during the sophomore year. Application forms may be obtained in the school of Education office. There is a minimum GPA requirement of 2.8 from all colleges and universities attended, plus other requirements, such as taking the Basic Math, Reading, and Writing MTLE exams and receiving a score of 201 or higher. Persons with previous degrees and/or current licensure interested in adding a licensure field or endorsement may apply to SMSU and have their transcripts sent (if not from a Minnesota State school) to have a transcript review of what courses they would still need.
