The Physical Education minor is offered to any student at South Dakota State University interested in the area of study of human movement. The coursework provides students with experiences that will raise the level of knowledge and understanding about how people move and learn sport skills, as well as provide a foundation for developing or enhancing movement skill in their own lives and those of others. This minor would be of interest to those pursuing teaching degrees in other content areas, or individuals pursuing a Park and Recreation Management major. All students interested in obtaining this minor must obtain written approval from the PETE Coordinator. A minimum final grade of “C” is required for all courses taken in the minor.
