Subject: Can you get a Physical Education degree online?
My husband is currently an English teacher, but is thinking about becoming a PE teacher. Does anyone know if you can get this degree from a reputable online school? If so, where? We aren't interested in Univerity of Phoenix.

This is not to sound like a jerk. but why on earth would you want to get a P.E. degree?  Does your school district have a job waiting for you in P.E.?  I'm not sure where you are from, but in most parts of the country P.E. is getting reduced more and more everyday to make room for more standardized testing and fatter and unhealthier kids.  There are just very few P.E. jobs available.  If you really want to gewt employed choose Math or Science along with English.  Better yet get Special Ed.  I am a P.E and Health teacher as well as the Dean of Students at my school.  When we opened up a position for P.E. for awhile we had a stack of applicants that could choke a goat. Can't hardly find a decent Math or Science teachwer to even apply.

Sorry to go off the topic.  Just wanted to throw a little info your way.

he can get a masters but I can tell you as a former 4th grade now PE/Science teacher, it took undergrads of Chemistry and Lab, Anatomy and Lab, Adaptive PE, and my Masters in Exercise Science.  

 4 years while teaching full time. Not easy.
