Emeritus Faculty: Watters
The mission of the Department of Sport Science and Physical Education
at Idaho State University is to provide candidates with the intellectual
and physical skills necessary to maximize their potential. The study of
the physical education discipline is an important part of the
curriculum at Idaho State University; it strives to fulfill the
University mission as well as the College of Education’s
mission
in the enhancement of learning, lifelong development, and educational
leadership. The study of physical education encourages candidates to
respect human dignity, to be critical thinkers, and to be effective
communicators. It provides an opportunity for the individual to make
decisions regarding lifestyle and health choices enhancing
self-direction and self-esteem. Physical education develops both the
mental and physical discipline to provide opportunities for mental,
social, emotional, spiritual, and personal development while
interacting in a university environment.
The Idaho State University Department of Sport Science and Physical
Education is committed to providing an academic program in which men
and women can discover, experience, and reflect upon the study of
movement. Curricula are designed to challenge candidates in the theory
and to provide opportunity for practical experiences. Candidates are
expected to become both advocates for and contributors to the
discipline on personal and professional levels. Faculty members are
committed to excellence in teaching, concerns for the needs of
candidates, service to the community, and expertise in their discipline.
Majors in Physical Education receive preparation for a number of
careers. The student major in Physical Education may select from four
emphasis areas including
Exercise Science, Outdoor Education, Sport Management, and
Teaching.
Majors receive preparation for graduate work in areas such as physical
education, physical therapy, exercise science, outdoor education, and
athletic administration.
The Department of Sport Science and Physical Education also offers
three minor areas of study to facilitate professional and career
development needed by women and men to succeed in a changing world.
Candidates may choose to minor in
Coaching, Outdoor Education,
or
Sport Management.
The Department of Sport Science and Physical Education is committed to
make the sport and leisure activity program for the major and non-major
an experience serving the needs and interests of students. The activity
program is designed to develop students’ skills in lifetime
activities and to increase participants' fitness level.
The Department of Sport Science and Physical Education also offers a
Master of Physical Education degree with an emphasis in Athletic
Administration. The program is designed to facilitate the intellectual
and practical knowledge necessary to enter the field of sport
management or administration upon graduation.
