At Troy University our physical education program is based on three beliefs. First, teach students the proper skills necessary to participate in a variety of sport, individual and lifetime activities. Second, provide opportunities for the student to learn and participate in a wide variety of physical activities. Finally, by doing so, the student will find success in something they enjoy and will continue to do throughout life in order to achieve a healthy and active lifestyle.

Many of our graduates in health and physical education choose to double major. The availability of both majors and the opportunity for students to opt for a double major sets Troy University apart from other programs. An additional semester of 18 credit hours can provide the graduate with two degrees and prepare them for dual certification in physical education and health education, making them more marketable.

It is our mission to offer programs that enhance the lives of our students by making them marketable for meaningful employment by:

• Applying theoretical models by implementing practical experiences
• Involvement in interdisciplinary collaboration
• Preparation to participate in professional, social, and technological change
• Providing exemplary leadership through teaching in the classroom and in the field
