Physical Education and Sports Pedagogy

Overview

All lectures and field assignments are designed in alignment with the New York State Learning Standards in Schools and the National Standards for Physical Education. 

Students are afforded hands-on experience in each class. The Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy program at Manhattanville College makes use of a large gymnasium, three smaller teaching gymnasiums, modern weight room facilities, and a dance gymnasium to showcase the actual implementation of theory in teaching practice.

Part-time and Full-time Options

Students are also not required to have an undergraduate degree in physical education, making this program even more accessible. On average, the master’s program takes about two years to finish, although Manhattanville allows five years to complete the program. If you’re taking two or more classes a semester, you may be eligible for financial aid or an assistantship.

Graduate students in Manhattanville’s Physical Education and Sports Pedagogy program are given professional assistance in finding job opportunities. Our Career Center follows job fairs each semester and the Placement Center works with the program to provide current employment opportunities. Along with being given a list of resources for finding employment as a Physical Education teacher, students are also given information about coaching and teaching positions in the nearby communities.
