The Sport Pedagogy concentration will serve as an opportunity for those who have movement skill and instructional ambitions to pursue a physical education degree option. This concentration will not lead to teacher certification; however, it may be combined with several options for a minor (e.g., athletic coaching, dance, somatic movement) providing students the expertise to be employed in a wider variety of related fields.
