experience in physical education. The program
consists of 36 semester hours leading to
the Master of Arts in Education in
Physical Education Degree with graduate-level (“M”)
licensure in Physical
Education (K-12).
Classes are held evenings at
Wingate University's convenient downtown Matthews location serving the metro

Emphasis:
All
courses include a research component that involves the teaching process
and/or
factors affecting the learning/teaching/education process. Students
complete a portfolio
as a culminating project consisting of related research
materials designed to enhance
the decision-making and leadership abilities
of the graduates. The students who
complete the
program are prepared to
assume a major role in formulating
individual/group goals and
planning
approaches to meet them. Also, they will have an enhanced knowledge in the use of technology. Finally, the underpinning wellspring of the graduate
program is the “Effective Facilitator of Learning Conceptual Model.” (See
Appendix A in the Graduate Catalog)
