The department of Exercise, Sport, and
Health Education at Radford University prepares individuals for leadership
roles in a variety of programs. The Physical and Health Education teaching
program in Radford Virginia needs your support. If you are a high school
senior, college freshman, transfer student, or an undecided major you should
look into our program.
The nation also needs you because the worst
teaching shortage ever is amongst us. We have a graying teacher workforce
that is nearing retirement and a great need for college educated students to be
the replacements. The result will be a historic turnover in the teaching
profession where half the teachers who will be in public school classrooms 10
years from now have not even been hired yet.

your college experience with us. By planting your seed in our department
you can watch it grow for a lifetime.
