The Physical and Health Education Teacher Education (PHETE)  concentration is part of a 5-year program where students receive their Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Kinesiology and then their Masters of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) from the College of Education.

Upon successful completion of the first four years students earn a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in kinesiology. The fifth-year MAT degree provides the requisite courses to obtain a VA state teaching license in Physical and Health Education (PK-12). It is necessary to be admitted to the teacher education program prior to enrolling in professional education courses.

Accreditation

The JMU Education Programs are accredited by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and the Virginia State Board of Education.
