Health and Physical Education

The goal of the Health and Physical Education Program at West Liberty University is to provide instruction and activities in required course work designed to produce teachers of health and physical education, coaches, recreation leaders, health specialists, and athletic administrators; and to prepare students for graduate work and further training in the allied areas.

There are two tracks within the Health and Physical Education Program—the Education Track and the Athletic Coaching Education (ACE) Track:

  • EDUCATION TRACK — The Education Track is designed to prepare students to become Health and Physical Educators, earning PreK – Adult certification in each area.  The program is nationally accredited and the certification courses are approved and recognized by the West Virginia State Department of Education.
  • ATHLETIC COACHING EDUCATION (ACE) TRACK — The Athletic Coaching Minor provides students with a foundation of fundamental elements of the coaching profession, including rules & regulations, coaching techniques & philosophy, communication, motivation, physical training, planning & management, care & prevention of athletic injuries, first aid, and emergency care. The minor also provides the opportunity to earn a national coaching certification through the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) as well as certification as a West Virginia Secondary School Activities Commission (WVSSAC) Certified Coach – required in order to coach high school or middle school sports in the state of West Virginia.
