The Department of Kinesiology has a specialized major in Physical Education and Health Teacher Education (PEHTE), leading to K-12 licensure to teach physical education in North Carolina and many other states. This program prepares future teachers by providing opportunities for observation, participation, assisting, and teaching experiences with public school students, including those with special needs.
Requirements
Students interested in pursuing a B.S. in Physical Education and Health Teacher Education (PEHTE) will first enroll in the “Pre-Physical Education Health Teacher Education” major. To be admitted into the “full” PEHTE major, students must meet certain requirements to apply to the major.

Notice:
The U.S. Department of Education requires that all higher education institutions advise students as to whether their curriculum provides them with the eligibility to apply for a professional license and/or certification in the state for which they plan to practice.
As such, please review UNC Greensboro’s status by state for the B.S. in Physical Education & Health Teacher Education. You should note whether the program either “meets”, “does not meet”, or if there “has not been a determination” of the program’s status in the state for which you plan to practice. You should contact the Program Director, Judy Fowler at jafowle3@uncg.edu with any questions regarding this data.
