Physical Education (Advanced Entry)

Physical educators enable others to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes that define active, healthy lifestyles. The Bachelor of Physical Education (BPE) is a three-year degree program designed for students who wish to teach physical education in the school system.

With its unique blend of theory and experiential learning courses, the BPE program equips graduates with the knowledge, skills and practical experience to design meaningful and relevant physical education programs for children and youth from diverse populations. The program offers an exciting mix of theory and practical courses and includes a curriculum related to teaching physical education at the early, middle, or senior years.

Governments, schools and health care organizations are increasingly recognizing the value of physical activity in relation to chronic disease prevention and the habituation of healthy lifestyle patterns.
