All classes are offered in a unique summer-module format. Some are also available in a distance-learning format. Courses are scheduled on a rotating basis. This allows you to earn your degree in as little as three summers.
Health, Physical Education, and Sport Concentration
You will gain knowledge and skills to build a more effective health, physical education, and team-sport experience for your students.
Completion will enable you to emphasize spiritual health, as well as physical health. You will also be equipped with the latest in coaching practices and methodology. A comprehensive project over the last half of your studies will tie together your learning experiences.

Real People
“I’m hoping to go teach at the college level one day, so this degree will have opened the door a lot to more opportunities in my future. I graduated with an undergraduate degree from Baptist Bible College, so I was familiar with the graduate school and knew it was a good program. Now that I’m here, the spiritual atmosphere is the one thing I appreciate most.”

“My four summers of grad school were life changing. They changed the way I teach, the way I think, and who I am. The classes I took were of great help to me professionally. I especially enjoyed the fact that they were practical to what I what I was doing and will continue to do at Davis College. Learning new teaching and coaching methods, along with the details of curriculum design and development, were especially helpful.”
