*Elective courses - 3 credits

In order for a candidate to aspire to teacher certification in Physical Education K-12 that the Department of Education of Puerto Rico grants in harmony with the Certification Regulation (2012), the candidate must have approved two methodology courses: one K-6 and another 7-12. For this reason:

  1. the student of Physical Education at the Elementary Level will select EDUC 3875 as an elective course.
  2. the student of Physical Education at the Secondary Level will select EDUC 3878 as an elective course.

However, if the student cannot select EDUC 3875 or EDUC 3878 (according to the major) as an elective course, the student must take the course as an additional degree requirement. In these cases, the student will take a total of 137 credits, instead of 134.
