Fourteen full time faculty, twelve adjuncts, and four graduate assistants

In addition the department offers an array of physical activity courses
designed to meet the Physical Education requirement in the Universities
General Education Program. Our theory, technology, research, adult fitness,
exercise science, athletic training, coaching, sports management, and physical
education courses are designed to meet the needs of the educational and
corporate entities in New Jersey. Undergraduate students are educated in our
nationally recognized Physical Education and Health certification program
for grades K-12, in our degree granting CAATE certified
Athletic Training
program and innovative program in Adult fitness which features internships
with the major sports industries in the metropolitan NY area.
The graduate program in Physical Education provides students the opportunity to
pursue advanced study in the general field of physical education, and to develop
competency in an area of concentration. Concentrations are offered in Teaching
and Supervision of Physical Education, Coaching and Sports Administration, and
Exercise Sciences. The program is designed to develop and enhance competencies
necessary for teaching in school programs, coaching of athletics, conducting
individualized exercise programs, administration of physical education and/or
athletics, and administration of specialized exercise programs in a non-school setting.
ESPE offers many opportunities for both students majoring in these diverse areas of study
as well s students generally interested in our unique professions. Although the career
goals of majors are varied, there are certain common threads. Students tend to be
people-oriented, concerned with lifelong activity, and interested in general fitness,
wellness and business concepts. These characteristics apply to students preparing for
traditional careers as teachers, clinicians, administrators and managers.
