The Department of Physical Education and Exercise
Science believes that individuals and society
benefit from physical activity. Thus, the mission
of the Department is to promote enhanced quality
of life through participation in physical activity,
exercise, and sport for the people of North Dakota
and beyond. Specifically, this mission is accomplished
through: 1) the provision of quality teacher
education and other professional preparation
programs at both the undergraduate and graduate
level; 2) creative and scholarly activity which
leads to discovery and dissemination of professional
and disciplinary knowledge; and 3) contribution
of professional expertise and talents as a service
to the community, university and profession.
Graduates have the opportunity to pursue careers in physical education teaching,
health and fitness education and management, and athletic coaching, or to continue
their education in graduate studies.
Basic Instruction Courses — the Department of PEXS also provides basic
instruction for all students of the University in a wide variety of sport, aquatics,
dance, and fitness classes. Activity courses in physical education may count
toward the hours required for graduation. These credit hours may be earned by
enrolling in PEXS 101, 102 or 103. In some cases, equipment is provided by the
department; however, there are fees assessed for certain specified activities.
