Bachelor of Physical Education - Teaching

The Bachelor of Physical Education Studies (BPES) provides students with in-depth knowledge of the field of Physical Education and the fundamental and specialized skills required by Physical Educators, Exercise Science and Health Professionals, Personal trainers and coaches.

The BPES is a three-year undergraduate degree offering three streams of study: • Exercise Science and Fitness, • Recreation and Sport Management, • Teaching

BPES also offers the opportunity to obtain certification through the following organizations: • National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) • Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) • Manitoba Fitness Council (MFC)

NOTE: International students are welcome to apply to the Bachelor of Education programs provided they meet admission requirements found in the current Undergraduate Course Calendar. Teacher certification is a separate issue. Completion of a B. Ed. degree does not automatically lead to certification in Manitoba; students must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident, or hold a valid work visa to be certified to teach in Manitoba.
