Overview

Earn your MEd While Preparing for Licensure

The Physical Education (MEd - PE) at DePaul program goes beyond traditional physical education, focusing on developing educators who are knowledgeable, empathetic and inspiring. You'll work closely with expert teachers, gaining hands-on experience in diverse school environments, and the knowledge and skills to positively impact students' lives through physical activity. Furthermore, DePaul's strong connection with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) ensures excellent job prospects upon graduation.

The program can be completed in two years and includes student teaching at the elementary and secondary levels during your last quarter. First-year classes will primarily be online; second-year courses will be in person on the Lincoln Park Campus during the day.
