UNI to Offer Online Master of Arts in Physical Education

Note: Please pass on the below information to any P.E. teachers who may be interested. 

 The University of Northern Iowa will offer a master's program for physical education majors and teachers that can be completed entirely online. The 30-credit-hour cohort program, the only of its kind in the state of Iowa, will begin spring 2013 and will take five consecutive semesters to complete. Applications are now being accepted, with full consideration given for applications completed by November 15.

The Master of Arts in Physical Education will link practice to theory in areas including motor learning/behavior, curriculum development, effective teaching and sport psychology for pre-K through high school physical education teachers and coaches.

Coursework is offered using eLearning, a Blackboard learning management system which requires Internet access and Adobe Connect, a desktop video conferencing system. During fall and spring semesters, courses are scheduled back-to-back in eight-week modules with meetings via Adobe Connect on select Monday evenings from 6:00-9:00 p.m. Summer sessions may meet more frequently through Adobe Connect.
