PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDIES
This two-year program is designed to give students the knowledge, skills and experiences that will prepare them for transfer to a baccalaureate program for fields such as teacher preparation, athletic training, sports management, coaching, adaptive physical education, and exercise science. In addition, through the context of the HPE Division, we offer a three-credit hour Certified Personal Trainer course with the possibility of certification through the National Council on Strength and Fitness (NCSF).
The NCCC Approach
Performance course work includes classes in aquatics, dance, goal sports, net and wall sports, outdoor activities, personal performance activities, target sports, striking and fielding sports. Knowledge and skills acquisition stressing theory and practice to develop competencies and proficiencies will be stressed. The Life Sciences component of Anatomy and Physiology prepares students for baccalaureate-level required sciences. In addition, students will complete requirements in the Humanities, Fine Arts, Social Sciences, Mathematics and Computer Technology, providing a general education component to prepare them for life experiences in a changing society.
