The Department of Health Promotion and Physical Education prepares students to take an active role in the promotion of health and physical activity, with a focus on enhancing the well-being of people through education in school and community settings, instruction in the health sciences, or leadership in health policy. The Department of Health Promotion and Physical Education offers the following majors:
B.S. in physical education (teaching)
B.S. in health education (teaching)
B.S. in health education and physical education (teaching)
B.S. in community health education
B.S. in health sciences
B.A. in health policy studies
B.S. in health services administration*
B.S. in health care management
* No new majors being accepted
Additionally, the Department of Health Promotion and Physical Education, under the physical activity, leisure, and safety (PALS) program, offers a variety of physical activity and leisure services courses to students.
The program in physical education prepares students for initial New York State certification to teach at elementary and secondary school levels. Coursework includes strong preparation in the liberal arts, health and exercise sciences, teacher education, professional theory, and professional skills. A full semester of student teaching in the senior year is required in this program. One of the two student teaching placements will be in Rochester, New York. Students who complete the major are eligible to apply for teacher certification after successfully completing the appropriate examinations. New York certification requires the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations; other states may require the Praxis examination or another designated state teaching examination.
Medical clearance by the Ithaca College health center is required for participation in any activity course. Students who do not have such clearance will not be able to complete the requirements for this degree.
All candidates for teaching certification must attend a two-hour workshop on child abuse identification and prevention, and a two-hour workshop on drug and alcohol abuse. The evening workshops are offered each semester. For more information about certification requirements and for information about fingerprinting requirements, see the following:
Office of Teaching and Certification

This program prepares students to educate others about personal, family, and community health concerns, including maintaining good health and preventing illness. Graduates may teach health in elementary and secondary schools or serve in public health and social service agencies. The curriculum has a broad, interdisciplinary orientation that emphasizes the biological, psychological, and sociological aspects of health. A full semester of student teaching in the senior year is required in this program. The semester is divided into two separate placements, with one of the placements in Rochester, New York. Students who complete this major qualify to take the national examination to be certified as health education specialists and are eligible to apply for initial teacher certification after successfully completing the appropriate examinations. New York certification requires the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations; other states may require the Praxis examination or another designated state teaching examination.
All candidates for initial teaching certification must attend a two-hour workshop on child abuse identification and prevention. The evening workshop is offered once each semester. For more information about certification requirements, and for information about fingerprinting requirements, see the following:

The dual major in health education and physical education enables students to become certified to teach in two areas. Upon graduation, students are eligible for New York State provisional or initial teacher certification in both health education and physical education. This dual certification offers increased professional opportunities, and it meets the needs of students who desire to teach both health education and physical education in the public schools of New York State. Students who complete the dual major are eligible to apply for teacher certification after successfully completing the appropriate examinations. New York certification requires the New York State Teacher Certification Examinations; other states may require the Praxis examination or other designated state teaching examination.
Coursework includes strong preparation in the liberal arts, health and exercise sciences, physical education, teacher education, professional theory, and professional skills. A full semester of student teaching in the senior year is required. One of the two student teaching placements will be in Rochester, New York. It should be noted that because this program prepares students in two areas, there is relatively little room left for electives. For those students whose career interests lie within these areas, however, this program offers considerable depth in two highly related areas, within a challenging curriculum.
Medical clearance by Ithaca College's health center is required for participation in any activity course. Students who do not have such clearance will not be able to complete the requirements for this degree program.
All candidates for teaching certification must attend a two-hour workshop on child abuse identification and prevention. The evening workshop is offered once each semester. For more information about certification requirements and for information about fingerprinting requirements, see the following:

The community health education major has two main objectives. The first is to provide professional preparation for those who plan health education careers in public or voluntary health organizations. The second is to provide a sound undergraduate educational foundation for graduate studies in community health education and other health-related professions. Students who choose this major must complete the nutrition promotion concentration or a planned interdisciplinary combination. Students who complete this major qualify to take the national examination to be certified as health education specialists.
Acceptance into and retention in the community health education major is subject to compliance with the following academic standards:
• Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.50.
• Maintain a minimum GPA of 2.75 after the sophomore year in the professional health core (HLTH-12200, HLTH-15200, HLTH-20200, HLTH-21300, HLTH-22700, HLTH-31700, HLTH-33300, HLTH-35000).
• Each of the aforementioned courses must be completed with at least a C (not C-). Failure to do so mandates repeating the course. The Ithaca College policy on repeating a course must be followed.
• A student failing to meet the minimum standards in the first two bulleted items listed above in any given semester will be placed on program academic warning and be given one semester to attain these standards. Students failing to meet these academic standards for two consecutive semesters or in any three semesters total will be subject to dismissal from the major.
• No student will be allowed to enroll in the professional practicum (HLTH-34900, HLTH-44900, or HLTH-45300) unless he or she has met these standards in the previous semester and presented a current American Red Cross CPR and first aid card to the internship coordinator.

The nutrition promotion concentration or a planned interdisciplinary combination (PIC) is required for graduation. Liberal arts courses taken to fulfill this requirement may be applied toward the 60-credit liberal arts requirement, thus increasing the available number of free elective credits. To fulfill this requirement, students have the following options:
1. Students may enroll in the nutrition promotion concentration.
2. Students may develop, with their adviser, a planned interdisciplinary combination (PIC) of courses that relate to their major field and/or point toward their vocational goals. The student must be accepted into a PIC no later than the second semester of the junior year. Before acceptance, an application must be completed and approved by the student's adviser, the department chair, and the dean. Requirements for a PIC are listed below.

This concentration is for individuals who are interested in nutrition promotion in a community, school, or worksite setting. Upon graduation, the student is employable as a nutrition educator working with children, athletes, adults, or the elderly. This program also prepares the student to pursue graduate work in clinical dietetics (for certification as a clinical dietitian), nutrition, and health. Courses with the prefix ICCU are offered by the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University.
