I am considering looking into online schools to get my bachelors in either exercise science or kinesiology. Is one of these options better than the other ? I would want it to go after either a strength and conditioning job or a physical education teacher. And are there other routes I would need to go in order to meet these goals? My preferred job would be physical education teacher.
Any tips or insight is much appreciated.
I’m not familiar enough with online ed for either of these degree paths or the PE teacher career to comment on this. Sorry man.
No problem at all thank you anyway!
I would suggest checking into the requirements for teacher certification in the particular state where you want to teach. A job in either of those two fields would not translate to being a certified P.E. teacher in my state. You would need to obtain one of those degrees and then go for a Master’s in Education on top of it in order to be certified. It would be much quicker (and cheaper) to just go for the education degree for your B.A. Almost all of them are focused towards one particular certification area, and schools of education are usually really good about making sure you tick all of the boxes necessary to become certified after you graduate.
