Huntington University is a Christian college offering degrees in physical education, exercise science, recreation management, and sports ministry. These programs are specifically designed for students planning to pursue careers in physical education teaching; fitness research and consultation; physical or occupational therapy; or commercial, therapeutic, and outdoor recreation; or sports ministry. Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) program At Huntington University, the objective of the Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) program is to generate physical education teacher candidates with the skills and aptitude necessary for successful Indiana licensure in Elementary Physical Education, or K-12 Physical Education and Health Education. As a way of expanding teaching licensure, coaching endorsement course work is also an option. The PETE core curriculum provides students with numerous field experiences, cultivating the candidate's experiential and cognitive repertoire in: physical education teaching pedagogy, personal motor skill development, a multiplicity of teaching methodologies and classroom management strategies, teaching diverse populations, and personal and professional communication development. The small class environment nurtures personal and professional relationships, creating a cohort embedded in and committed to professionalism, a Christ-centered standard of living, and an exemplary lifestyle of wellness. It is the desire of those teaching in the Department of Kinesiology and Recreation Management to develop future physical educators who will strive to elevate the credibility of physical education, and advocate for its existence as a necessary part of a child's growth and development.
