Multi-Age Health and Physical Education
Students who are active at school show up differently. They’re more focused, more resilient, less anxious, and more likely to stay healthy well into adulthood.
Overview
About the Program
Students who are active at school show up differently. They’re more focused, more resilient, less anxious, and more likely to stay healthy well into adulthood. Behind that is a teacher who knows how to make movement meaningful and that’s exactly what this program prepares you to do.
The Multi-Age Health and Physical Education program at the University of Findlay prepares you to teach students from kindergarten through twelfth grade. You’ll graduate with a deep understanding of human movement, health education, sport psychology, and the developmental differences that shape how students learn at every age.
Coursework blends education, biology, health, and sport analysis, giving you a well-rounded foundation that goes well beyond the gym floor. And with over 1,000 hours of fieldwork built into the program, you’ll spend four years learning in real classrooms alongside real students before you ever step in front of your own.
The University of Findlay licensure programs meet Ohio licensure requirements; candidates interested in being licensed in another state need to work with that state’s department of education to determine eligibility for the other state.
If you have already graduated with a bachelor’s degree but are looking to become a teacher, check out our Multi-Age Post-baccalaureate Licensure option.
