The Department of Physical Education and Recreation at WKU is rich in tradition, dating back to theThad Crews very beginning of the university when our first president appointed his daughter as Instructor of Physical Hygiene. We offer Physical Education majors the opportunity to prepare for careers in coaching, exercise science, and physical education teaching.

Our Recreation majors prepare for a wide range of leisure industry appointments, such as community center administrator, outdoor adventure facilitator, park ranger, and therapeutic recreation specialist. The Department of Physical Education and Recreation is known for warm, friendly faculty who know students as individuals.
