Physical Education prepares students to teach in elementary, middle, and secondary schools. The Western Carolina University Physical Education graduate is recognized by North Carolina school districts as being well prepared in all areas of gymnasium and classroom management. Our graduates can organize and administer intramural programs, coach varsity sports, and administer athletic programs in addition to teaching physical education, exercise, and dance. Employment opportunities exist outside of education also. Western Carolina University's graduates are employed in YMCA/YWCAs, community recreation programs, industry and corperate fitness, and in private clubs.
