School of Social and Human Studies
The Master of Physical Education (MS) program objective is to provide students with the opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to meet their personal and professional goals in the fields of physical education and exercise science. The Master of Physical Education program is offered online via distance learning. After evaluating both academic record and life experience, CSUNY staff working in conjunction with Faculty and Academic Advisors will assist students in setting up a custom-made program, designed on an individual basis. This flexibility to meet student needs is seldom found in other distance learning programs. Our online program does not require all students to take the same subjects/courses, use the same books, or learning materials. Instead, the online Master of Physical Education curriculum is designed individually by the student and academic advisor. It specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses with respect to market opportunities in the student’s major and intended field of work.
Understanding that industry and geographic factors should influence the content of the curriculum instead of a standardized one-fits-all design is the hallmark of CSUNY’s unique approach to adult education. This philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly changing environment of working professionals by helping adult students in reaching their professional and personal goals within the scope of the degree program.
