Sport Pedagogy Emphasis
The Sport Pedagogy emphasis prepares students for academic positions in comprehensive universities, particularly as teacher educators. Students are afforded the coursework, research, and practical experiences necessary for providing leadership on teacher education and conducting educational research. Students will have the opportunity to gain practical experience in pedagogy. They will also have opportunities to participate in ongoing research efforts within the School of Sport and Exercise Science (SES). SES has a well-equipped research laboratory for the study of teaching and various forms of graduate experiences are available in this area.
Admission. Applicants to the Ph.D. emphases must submit all application materials required by the Graduate School (graduate application, application fee, transcripts from all colleges or universities attended, and GRE scores). In addition, a resume, and a written statement of career goals and research interests should be submitted to the School of Sport and Exercise Science. The faculty prefers that students begin the program in the fall, and applicants are encouraged to visit the campus to meet with program area faculty. Questions about specific program areas and application deadlines will be directed to the appropriate faculty.
