Our fully online Master of Science in Health and Physical Education can be completed in one year of full-time study or two to five years of part-time enrollment. Our program is ideal for working adults or those interested in advancing their careers without wanting to travel or have on-campus requirements. This is not an initial licensure program. Applicants must have a teaching license to complete this program.
Your Schedule, Your Pace
All courses are offered throughout the year in an online and asynchronous format, so you can structure the program to fit your schedule and start at the time that makes the most sense for you.
For those seeking professional development or for those pursuing licensure, you make take classes as a non degree student. Then, you can apply up to nine Longwood HPE credits into the master's program. Students can also transfer in up to six credits of aligned coursework that satisfy program requirements (completed courses from another institution within the last 5 years).
Internships
Students complete a five-credit internship in a school or community setting of their choice, and in their specific area of interest including,
- Health Education
- P.E.

You can stay where you are and complete a local internship while offering opportunities for children and adults in your community.
In addition, you will work with a school or community agency and submit a grant proposal to fund a community/school initiative that will positively impact health and wellness.
