Why Study Physical Education at SBU?

In a recent survey, 90 percent of our graduates said they would choose St. Bonaventure University again for their higher education. 


Over the recent years, the Department of Physical Education has gone through curriculum reform so as to properly prepare our students to teach in today’s standards-based education systems. 

 

In the fall of 2001, the National Association for Sport and Physical Education's (NASPE) Council on Professional Preparation in Physical Education (COPPPE) approved the St. Bonaventure program as being in compliance with NASPE and National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) Initial Physical Education Teacher Education Standards.


In order to reach this type of national approval, our faculty spent countless hours documenting the fact that our program aligns with the NASPE/NCATE national standards.
