Physical Education Teacher Education

The Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) program is where we prepare students for a career that incorporates both education and physical activity. The University of Idaho PETE program has become the first choice for many students.

Experiences in the PETE program will provide students with physical education certification at the elementary and secondary level and health certification at the secondary level. We take a holistic approach in producing physical activity specialists for the school district.  Our students gain skills not only in student wellness education, but for staff and faculty members as well. Leadership skills are a strong component of our curriculum, and we prepare you for entering a competitive job market.
