Teacher Education
The education of teachers at Fairmont State University is designed to utilize the cooperative functions of the academic disciplines with the School of Education. We believe that adequate preparation for teaching requires a rich and comprehensive experience in general education, a concentration in at least one academic specialization and certain attitudes, knowledge, skills and dispositions which characterize effective teaching.

The Exercise Science major integrates the theories and practicalities of exercise physiology in preparing graduates for a career in this field.

This understanding of the science of human movement/physiology is coupled with essential hands-on experiences that culminate in an internship in a health/fitness/wellness facility.
