Overview

Health and Physical Education teachers are in an ideal position to help tackle the nation's growing problem with obesity and its associated health risks, especially among school-age youth.

After successful completion of all major requirements in ESS and the professional education program, including a semester of student teaching, students are qualified for licensure to teach at all levels (K-12) in North Carolina and many other states.

Currently, 100% of Meredith College ESS graduates with health and physical education licensure have secured a job in teaching or obtained a graduate school assistantship their first year out of college.
