Here are the majors we offer...
Tracks in health enhancement, exercise science, and physical education are designed for students interested in adult fitness, personal training, worksite wellness, cardiac rehabilitation, health promotion, community health, teaching health or physical education on the elementary or secondary level, and athletic coaching.
Career possibilities in physical education and health have expanded beyond the traditional school setting during the past decade. Americans have grown more interested in personal health, fitness, wellness, and leisure-time physical activities. This has created a demand for professionals with specialized training to provide leadership and service in adult fitness and health promotion. In response to these changing societal interests and the resulting job market, the Department of Health Enhancement, Exercise Science, and Physical Education offers four tracks from which students may choose to fulfill their career goals: exercise science/health fitness leadership, gerontology, health education, and physical education teacher preparation/coaching.
Each track provides the first two years of a typical four-year curriculum leading to a baccalaureate degree. The A.A. in arts and sciences is awarded upon completion of all requirements in the specific track. Most career opportunities in fields related to these curricula require a bachelor’s degree. The program at Montgomery College prepares students to efficiently transfer and complete their upper-level coursework at a four-year institution. A certificate curriculum in personal training is also available.
Colleges and universities vary in their requirements. Thus, it is important that students contact the program coordinators or departmental advisers prior to registration to ensure the design of a program that transfers efficiently.
The Health Enhancement, Exercise Science, and Physical Education Department
is located in the PEC Building, facing parking lot #4.
