Mary K. Bentley, Associate Professor and Acting Chair
B.S. in Physical Education |
This is a revised teacher certification program for students who will graduate and apply for New York State teaching certification on or after February 2, 2004.
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. 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 Examination; 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.
Students who wish to do their student teaching any time during the senior year must file an application early in the spring of the junior year and receive approval from the Department of Health Promotion and Human Movement. Students must present a current CPR and First Aid card prior to student teaching.
To be eligible, students must also earn a grade no lower than C- in the following required courses: 330-21010, 395-34000, 660-33200, and 660-33300.

This is a revised teacher certification program for students who will graduate and apply for New York State teaching certification on or after February 2, 2004.
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. Students also receive on-the-job experience in a one-semester student teaching assignment. Students who complete this major qualify to take the national examination to be certified as health education specialists. 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 Examination; other states may require the Praxis examination or another designated state teaching examination.

B.S. in Health and Physical Education |
This is a revised teacher certification program for students who will graduate and apply for New York State teaching certification on or after February 2, 2004.
The dual major in health and physical education enables students to become certified to teach in two areas --- health education and physical education. Upon graduation, students are eligible for New York State provisional or initial teacher certification in health education K-12 and in physical education K-12. This dual certification offers increased professional opportunities because of the preparation in two areas and meets the needs of students who desire to teach both health 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 Examination; 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. It should be noted that because this program prepares students in two areas, health and physical education, 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.
Students who wish to do their student teaching any time during the senior year must file an application early in the spring of the junior year and receive approval from the Department of Health Promotion and Human Movement. Students must present a current CPR and First Aid card prior to student teaching.
To be eligible, students must also earn a grade no lower than C- in the following required courses: 330-21000, 395-34000, 660-33200, 660-33300, 662-36000, and 662-42000.

B.S. in Health Sciences |
The health sciences degree program is designed to prepare students for graduate study in a variety of health professions. The major combines knowledge from several disciplines related to health and disease. The health core focuses on scientific facts and principles pertinent to personal and community health. The integration of courses from the behavioral sciences helps students understand the psychological and sociological determinants of health. Courses in the natural sciences provide a strong foundation for future health professionals. A practicum provides "real world" experiences linking education to service.
Health professionals must respect individual differences, communicate effectively, use analytic and computer skills, work collaboratively, and be sensitive to ethical issues. Coursework in this major provides students with these skills, while electives afford students the opportunity to direct their studies toward specific careers. Thus this program provides excellent preprofessional preparation for students planning graduate study to become public health specialists, administrators, researchers, policy analysts, dieticians, nurses, chiropractors, occupational or physical therapists, physicians, physician assistants, or health care practitioners in related fields.
