The Department of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance participates in two Ph.D. programs:

(1) Ph.D. in Education with a concentration in sport pedagogy & character education or exercise & sport sciences. Sport pedagogy & character education develops individuals who lead, serve, and research learning and teaching as applied to character and value laden issues in physical education and physical activity. Exercise & sport sciences prepares students to teach, conduct research, and provide services related to Exercise Science disciplines in higher education (exercise physiology, sport psychology, motor control, and biomechanics) and other exercise-related institutions.
