Whether your passion lies in education, coaching, or the business side of sports and health, OPSU’s HPE majors give you the knowledge, hands-on experience, and professional skills to thrive in today’s health, fitness, and sports industries.
At Oklahoma Panhandle State University, the Health and Physical Education (HPE) program offers two dynamic Bachelor of Science options designed to fit diverse career goals. The Academic Option, our most popular HPE major, provides a strong foundation in wellness, human performance, and physical education methods—perfect for students pursuing teaching (teaching license is obtained through alternative certification), coaching, or advanced study in health-related fields. HPE Academic majors almost always graduate with a coaching minor. The Sports & Exercise Management Option blends exercise science with core business and management courses, preparing graduates for leadership roles in athletics, recreation, fitness, and corporate wellness.
