Physical Education Degree Online

Lawrence Said:

A career in Education!

We Answered:

You'll need to get a BA to start. This you can do online - make sure the school is accredited.

Now you have two problems that I notice with your question.

First - PE teachers generally work at the secondary level. Surely there are some that work with elementary kids - but there is usually a limited number if one at all at most elementary schools. Often they work in a pull out manner. Why does this matter? less job availablility.

Second - You cannot teach with simply a BA - you need a credential. This is a post-bac degree - often taking two years to complete and there are none offered online. You need to do this at a traditional school, because it needs to include a student teacher portion that is mentored by a university mentor. There are no online schools that offer this - Dont be confused by online schools offering online masters degrees in teaching - different thing.

If you already have your BA, contact a local 4 year college and look into their teacher education program - If your BA is not in a health or physical education field - you will be required to take some more classes.

good luck to you!
