Physical Education

Missouri State University is approved by the Missouri State Board of Education to offer basic and advanced professional education programs for purposes of professional certification. Admission to the University does not automatically qualify a student to participate in the professional component of the teacher education program. That participation is granted upon demonstration of a high level of academic and professional competence. Successful participation should result in the student’s achieving certification to teach in Missouri public schools.

All students desiring Missouri certification are required to submit a professional portfolio. This portfolio will be assessed, evaluated, and monitored throughout the teacher education program with the assistance and guidance from faculty. There are three distinct checkpoints for the portfolio: 1) at admission to the teacher education program (culmination of the introductory course-PED 200, 2) at the designated methods course(s), and 3) at the culmination of supervised teaching. Completion of certification requirements is a four-step process. Students who receive a certification recommendation must meet the standards for certification eligibility as outlined below:

1. Requirements for Eligibility to Enroll in PED 200. Before a student can enroll in PED 200 the following eligibility requirements must be met:

   3. Completed COM 115 with a minimum grade of “C” or concurrent enrollment in COM 115
   4. Completed at least 30 semester hours
   5. A highway patrol background check prior to any clinical experience placement (fee required)
      Note: The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will require an FBI background check prior to issuing a certificate.
2. Requirements for Admission to Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) Program. Students who plan to complete teacher certification requirements must be admitted to the PETE Program. Application is automatically made when enrolling in PED 200. Admission to the PETE Program is required before students are allowed to begin additional courses in the Physical Education Teacher Education component. Student applications for admission to the PETE Program is complete when the requirements listed below are satisfied.
   1. A combined (both Missouri State and Transfer) GPA of 2.50 or above
   2. Passed all sections of the Missouri State Board of Education entry examination (CBASE) with a score of 265 or higher on each section and attained a minimum grade of “C” in COM 115. A student who fails to meet this criterion and who wishes to appeal may do so in writing. Such appeals shall be filed with the chairperson of the Professional Education Exceptions Committee.
   3. Completed PED 200 with minimum grade of “C”
   4. Passed portfolio first checkpoint
   5. A satisfactory background check on file
   6. Complete at least 45 semester hours
      Note: All of these requirements must be met before students are permitted to enroll in Physical Education Professional Education courses (PED 411, 431, 440, 468, and 575)

Radiography (Comprehensive)

The Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, in cooperation with the CoxHealth and the St. John’s Regional Health Center School of Radiologic Technology, offer a baccalaureate degree in Radiography. This program contains professional training that is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology sponsored by the American Medical Association. The curriculum includes both university course work that can be completed in 5 semesters and a 24 month sequence of professional courses. Each student must have at least a 2.00 GPA in both the coursework at Missouri State and in the School of Radiologic Technology at CoxHealth or St. John’s Regional Health Center. To be a registered radiologic technologist, the student, after having completed the professional block of coursework, must pass a Registry Examination and obtain a letter of good standing from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.

A student may pursue this program by completing prerequisite courses at Missouri State and by seeking admission to the School of Radiologic Technology, CoxHealth or St. John’s Regional Health Center. Application deadlines are March 1 and February 1 respectively, of each year. Notifications will be sent to successful applicants and classes start in September (CoxHealth) or July (St. John’s Regional Health Center). Radiography courses completed at CoxHealth and the St. John’s Regional Health Center School of Radiologic Technology will carry the RAD prefix and be entered directly on the Missouri  State transcript and the grades earned in those courses will be calculated into the cumulative Missouri State GPA.

In some cases a student may transfer all or part of the professional block of courses from another accredited program in Radiography. Such courses are treated as transfer credit, carry a P (pass) grade only, and are evaluated as two blocks of 21 credit hours each, not as individual courses.
