Physical Education (PhD)

Corey Boyd Physical education lab in Blake Arena (PEPSL or Physical Education). Students Participating in Class. Photos in collaboration with Mindpower Inc.

The PhD in Physical Education  at Springfield College is one of approximately 25 programs in the United States, and the only one housed at a small-to-medium-sized college. This niche allows graduates of the program to be uniquely prepared to fill gaps in the job market. Specifically, graduates are well-positioned to attain and flourish in faculty and athletic leadership positions in higher education. The curriculum, experiences, and nature of the bachelor's and master's programs at Springfield College combine to support the success of doctoral students.

The PhD in Physical Education curriculum includes a choice of tracks in Physical Education Teacher Education, Athletic Administration, or the flexible General Studies. From there, students engage in a rigorous research sequence culminating in the dissertation in a student-identified area of interest.  Another element of choice is the cognate, in which students explore a selected focus area within physical education, such as adapted physical education, ethical and legal dimensions, or psychosocial aspects.  A final curricular highlight is the Preparing Future Faculty series where students examine the roles and responsibilities of faculty.  

Experiences within the program include field time, academic and social gatherings, research collaborations, and interactions with peers who have taught, coached, or led in a variety of settings. Students are also encouraged to apply for teaching fellowships to further build competence and confidence in faculty responsibilities.

Key to the structure of the doctoral program is the relationship to the bachelor's and master's programs in Physical Education and Athletic Administration. These programs are well-renowned and offer doctoral students opportunities to mentor, teach, and supervise student teachers while receiving guidance and feedback from a faculty member.

Recent graduates of the PhD program have landed positions as faculty and administrators in higher education across the United States and around the world.  Many are seen presenting at national and international conferences and publishing their work in academic journals.

The Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction with a concentration in physical education actively involves students in research at all stages of doctoral study.

Sport pedagogy (or physical education pedagogy) is the youngest subdiscipline to emerge from the field of physical education pedagogy covering the past four decades. Sports pedagogy is comprised of three areas:

  • Research on curriculum.
  • Research on teaching.
  • Research on teacher education.

It involves the empirical study of teaching and learning processes in various physical activity settings. Physical activity settings can include school and community settings, as well as youth, interscholastic, collegiate or elite-level (e.g., Olympic) sport programs.

  • College/school: Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College
  • Location: Tempe

84 credit hours, a written comprehensive exam, an oral comprehensive exam, a prospectus and a dissertation

The following domains comprise the physical education Ph.D. program:

Area of concentration : Thirty credit hours pertaining to physical education. Although the majority of these hours must be spent in physical education, a sizable proportion may include course work in closely related fields such as education, exercise and wellness and kinesiology.

Cognate study : Twelve credit hours are taken to broaden the student's understanding of the conceptual base and issues underlying the study of curriculum and instruction. Students take related work outside their declared areas of concentration. Students are expected to choose courses that have a clear link to their dissertation efforts. Cognate studies can be drawn from a broad range of offerings across the university.

Inquiry and analysis : Fifteen credit hours of empirical analysis and inquiry foundations are required in advanced design and data analysis in quantitative and/or qualitative research methods.

Core requirements in curriculum and instruction : Six credit hours of courses (interdisciplinary research seminar in curriculum and instruction and curriculum theory and practice) are required as the curriculum and instruction core.

Practicum and integrative/professional development seminars : Six credit hours of research and university teaching internships are required to broaden the training and experience of students.

Independent research and dissertation : A minimum of three credit hours of research and 12 credit hours of dissertation leading to completion of an approved dissertation are required.

The following are required:

  • Application to the Graduate College.
  • Curriculum vitae (resume).
  • GRE scores.
  • Letter of intent/statement of purpose.
  • Statement of research interests.
  • Transcripts.
  • Three letters of recommendation from individuals who can speak to the applicant's potential for success in a graduate program.
  • Writing sample (approximately 10 pages in length).

Additional materials may be required to gain admission into certain programs or cohorts. Admission to the program is contingent upon the commitment from an approved mentor in the concentration to advise and mentor the applicant.

Rawsam Alasmar's profound shift from printing to kinesiology

Rawsam Alasmar's profound shift from printing to kinesiology

Rawsam Alasmar's career journey is marked by a profound shift from a successful 23-year tenure in the printing industry to a passionate pursuit of fitness and allied health. With over 9 years of experience as a corrective exercise therapy specialist, he decided to further his education, earning a Ph.D. in Human Performance with a specialization in exercise science from MTSU in 2021. During his doctoral studies, Dr. Alasmar conducted pioneering research using the "PENDL," a newly developed suspension apparatus, to explore its impact on reducing back pain and enhancing various fitness aspects. His exceptional academic foundation, research expertise, and faculty guidance at MTSU paved the way for his selection as the inaugural Post-doctoral Fellow in Performing Arts Health, Science, and Education at Johns Hopkins University. In this role, he applied his profound knowledge of exercise science to research and collaborated on curriculum development, striving to elevate the performance of individuals in the performing arts. Dr. Alasmar firmly believes that performing artists deserve the same level of care and attention as elite athletes in the sports industry. Currently, Dr. Alasmar serves as an Assistant Professor in the Kinesiology Department at Missouri Southern State University and holds the position of Exercise Science Program Coordinator.

Student impressed by mentors, Ph.D. job placement

Student impressed by mentors, Ph.D. job placement

Preparation is invaluable to any student. Brad Camp, a Ph.D. candidate in Human Performance with an emphasis in Leisure Studies, chose MTSU for that exact reason. Camp experienced firsthand the unique assistance that he and fellow classmates have received. "MTSU has a proven track record of getting Ph.D. students hired across the nation. I have watched office mates and colleagues go out and have success obtaining employment." His keen interest in the importance of leisure as a way to maintain a healthy, well-established society persuaded Camp to continue on to a doctorate. He also believes faculty are indispensable to the program, providing both support and mentorship. "Dr. Gray truly cares about her graduate students, and she prepares them to become professionals once they leave ... Dr. Dunlap has introduced me to a wide variety of scholarship. He is incredibly well read, and he constantly encourages me to read new things." Camp's dissertation focuses on the impact of urban-built environments on social interaction.

The Harvard Ph.D. in Education trains cutting-edge researchers who work across disciplines to generate knowledge and translate discoveries into transformative policy and practice.

Offered jointly by the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the Ph.D. in Education provides you with full access to the extraordinary resources of Harvard University and prepares you to assume meaningful roles as university faculty, researchers, senior-level education leaders, and policymakers.

As a Ph.D. candidate, you will collaborate with scholars across all Harvard graduate schools on original interdisciplinary research. In the process, you will help forge new fields of inquiry that will impact the way we teach and learn. The program’s required coursework will develop your knowledge of education and your expertise in a range of quantitative and qualitative methods needed to conduct high-quality research. Guided by the goal of making a transformative impact on education research, policy, and practice, you will focus on independent research in various domains, including human development, learning and teaching, policy analysis and evaluation, institutions and society, and instructional practice.   

Curriculum Information

The Ph.D. in Education requires five years of full-time study to complete. You will choose your individual coursework and design your original research in close consultation with your HGSE faculty adviser and dissertation committee. The requirements listed below include the three Ph.D. concentrations: Culture, Institutions, and Society; Education Policy and Program Evaluation; and Human Development, Learning and Teaching . 

We invite you to review an example course list, which is provided in two formats — one as the full list by course number and one by broad course category . These lists are subject to modification. 

Ph.D. Concentrations and Examples

Summary of Ph.D. Program

Doctoral Colloquia  In year one and two you are required to attend. The colloquia convenes weekly and features presentations of work-in-progress and completed work by Harvard faculty, faculty and researchers from outside Harvard, and Harvard doctoral students. Ph.D. students present once in the colloquia over the course of their career.

Research Apprenticeship The Research Apprenticeship is designed to provide ongoing training and mentoring to develop your research skills throughout the entire program.

Teaching Fellowships The Teaching Fellowship is an opportunity to enhance students' teaching skills, promote learning consolidation, and provide opportunities to collaborate with faculty on pedagogical development.

Comprehensive Exams  The Written Exam (year 2, spring) tests you on both general and concentration-specific knowledge. The Oral Exam (year 3, fall/winter) tests your command of your chosen field of study and your ability to design, develop, and implement an original research project.

Dissertation  Based on your original research, the dissertation process consists of three parts: the Dissertation Proposal, the writing, and an oral defense before the members of your dissertation committee.

Culture, Institutions, and Society (CIS) Concentration

In CIS, you will examine the broader cultural, institutional, organizational, and social contexts relevant to education across the lifespan. What is the value and purpose of education? How do cultural, institutional, and social factors shape educational processes and outcomes? How effective are social movements and community action in education reform? How do we measure stratification and institutional inequality? In CIS, your work will be informed by theories and methods from sociology, history, political science, organizational behavior and management, philosophy, and anthropology. You can examine contexts as diverse as classrooms, families, neighborhoods, schools, colleges and universities, religious institutions, nonprofits, government agencies, and more.

Education Policy and Program Evaluation (EPPE) Concentration

In EPPE, you will research the design, implementation, and evaluation of education policy affecting early childhood, K–12, and postsecondary education in the U.S. and internationally. You will evaluate and assess individual programs and policies related to critical issues like access to education, teacher effectiveness, school finance, testing and accountability systems, school choice, financial aid, college enrollment and persistence, and more. Your work will be informed by theories and methods from economics, political science, public policy, and sociology, history, philosophy, and statistics. This concentration shares some themes with CIS, but your work with EPPE will focus on public policy and large-scale reforms.

Human Development, Learning and Teaching (HDLT) Concentration

In HDLT, you will work to advance the role of scientific research in education policy, reform, and practice. New discoveries in the science of learning and development — the integration of biological, cognitive, and social processes; the relationships between technology and learning; or the factors that influence individual variations in learning — are transforming the practice of teaching and learning in both formal and informal settings. Whether studying behavioral, cognitive, or social-emotional development in children or the design of learning technologies to maximize understanding, you will gain a strong background in human development, the science of learning, and sociocultural factors that explain variation in learning and developmental pathways. Your research will be informed by theories and methods from psychology, cognitive science, sociology and linguistics, philosophy, the biological sciences and mathematics, and organizational behavior.

Program Faculty

The most remarkable thing about the Ph.D. in Education is open access to faculty from all Harvard graduate and professional schools, including the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Harvard Kennedy School, the Harvard Law School, Harvard Medical School, and the Harvard School of Public Health.

Types of Physical Education and Health Education Doctoral Programs

Ed.d. in health & physical activity.

This interdisciplinary doctorate is a practice-based degree that’s intended to prepare professionals for leadership positions in health & fitness fields. Graduates qualify for roles of power in healthcare agencies & non-profits, public health, K-12 administration, teacher education, worksite wellness programs, sports organizations, and the government.

Explore the listings to view your options. In programs like the University of Pittsburgh’s Ed.D. in Health and Physical Activity you’ll encounter a lot of real-world coursework. Curricula will cover areas like health promotion policy & advocacy, program design & implementation, resource & funding acquisition, leadership in groups & organizations, and the like. You may also be trained in teacher education.

Ed.D. in Health Education & Promotion

An Ed.D. in Health Education or Promotion is similar to an Ed.D. in Health & Physical Activity, but it can lean more heavily on healthcare issues. For example, Columbia University’s Ed.D. in Health Education :

  • Explores the determinants of health & health-related behaviors
  • Helps doctoral students develop & implement interventions in various settings (e.g. schools, community, hospitals, workplace, etc.).
  • Covers program evaluations & applied research in health education

You’ll see similar foci in the University of Kentucky’s Ed.D. in Health Promotion and Clarkson College’s Online Ed.D. in Health Care Education & Leadership .

Ed.D. in Health Professions Education

If you’re interested in teaching healthcare professionals, you could also consider a doctorate that deals directly with this topic. For instance, A.T. Still University of Health Sciences’s Ed.D. in Health Professions and Allen College’s Ed.D. in Health Professions Education help healthcare practitioners (e.g. doctors) convert their clinical expertise into practical, experience-based teaching.

Ed.D. in Physical Education & Kinesiology

An Ed.D. in Physical Education and/or Kinesiology is often designed for current physical education professionals who want to teach at the college/university level or qualify for administrative positions within the field. Ohio State University’s  Ed.D. in Kinesiology, Physical Education is a good example of this. It even allows students to choose a sub-specialization in Physical Education Teacher Education or Adapted Physical Education (e.g. Sport & Disability).

If kinesiology is a particular passion, you’ll also find education doctorates that land square & center on the topic. For example, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Online Ed.D. in Kinesiology adapts typical Ed.D. topics to the subject of kinesiology (e.g. research methods, field practicums, curriculum development, pedagogy, etc.) and interweaves this coursework with credits in ethics and physical activity & health (e.g. program development).

Ed.D. in Sports Leadership & Management

As the title suggests, Ed.D. programs in Sports Leadership and Management are aimed at aspiring sports administration & management professionals. Graduates of programs like Northcentral University’s Online Ed.D. in Sport and Athletic Management and Concordia University Chicago’s Online Ed.D. in Sports Leadership go on to work in professional sports teams, minor leagues, the NCAA, high school athletics, and the like.

In addition to research work, programs like these are usually set up to provide training in practical challenges (e.g. administration, organizational capabilities, sports law, sports finance, promotion & marketing, etc.).

Ed.D. in Health & Recreation

Ed.D. programs in Health & Recreation usually focus on public recreation services and community health & leisure activities. Examples include the University of Northern Iowa’s Ed.D. in Allied Health, Recreation, and Community Services and Florida International University’s Ed.D. in Adult Education and Human Resource Development – Recreation and Sport Management . You’ll be able to explore issues surrounding public health, law & liability, program design & evaluation, systems change, and even tourism.

Ed.D. in a Related Major – Health & Physical Education Concentration

If you’re interested in taking a leadership or curriculum development role in health & physical education at the K-12 or P-12 level, you’ll find a number of doctorates in our listings that might suit. The bulk of your coursework will be in a relevant major (e.g. Curriculum & Instruction), but you will be able to dig into your area of interest in concentration courses. Examples include:

  • Hofstra University’s Ed.D. in Learning and Teaching – Physical Education
  • Augusta University’s Ed.D. in Educational Innovation – P12 Health & Physical Education
  • Valdosta State University’s  Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction – P-12 Disciplinary – Health and Physical Education

Earning an Ed.D. in Physical Education or Health Education

Health & pe prerequisites.

  • Master’s Degree: Degree requirements going to depend upon your choice of major. For example, applicants to an Ed.D. in Physical Education might be expected to have a master’s degree in physical education or related field. Candidates for an Ed.D. in Sports Leadership may need to have a master’s in health science, sports leadership, or a related field. Check the program page and the “How to Apply” link in our listings for precise details.
  • Work Experience: Many universities will want to see evidence of professional experience in your field of study; some schools may specify 3+ years of experience. But the work stipulation can be flexible. For example, Ohio State accepts K-12 teaching experience OR experience working with youth in a physical activity setting.
  • Minimum GPA: The standard minimum GPA for health education & physical education doctorates is 3.0. Big-name Colleges of Education can go higher (e.g. 3.25-3.5). If your GPA is below a certain threshold, schools may demand to see GRE scores.
  • Additional Requirements: Universities can ask for GRE or MAT scores, a résumé, letters of recommendation or professional references, an admissions essay, an academic writing sample, and/or a professional goals statement.

Health & PE Coursework

Curricula for Ed.D. programs in Health & Physical Education will reflect the title. An Ed.D. in Sports Management, which deals with on-the-ground issues in sports leadership, is going to be drastically different to an Ed.D. in Curriculum & Instruction – P12 Health & Physical Education, which is focused on teacher training and curriculum development.

We’ve included curriculum links in our listings so you can explore the differences. Whichever major you choose, you can expect to tackle a number of courses in research methods & applied research, leadership issues, and evidence-based practice. These are the DNA of education doctorates the world over.

Health & PE Internship and Fieldwork

A healthy number of on-campus and online doctorates in health education & PE contain an internship, fieldwork, or practicums. We give these programs a virtual “thumbs up”—they allow you to trial research-based theories & practices in a relevant environment.

The University of Pittsburgh’s Ed.D. in Health and Physical Activity is a good example. Students may choose a supervised “job-embedded” internship for work in their current position, an “aspirant” internship for job responsibilities they are not yet qualified to perform, or a “global studies” internship. Each has a different set of requirements.

Health & PE Dissertation

All Ed.D. programs in Health Education or Physical Education are going to contain a large, research-based project. This can take the form of a traditional, 5-chapter dissertation (similar to a Ph.D.), a Dissertation in Practice (DiP), or a capstone project. We cover the differences between these options in our guide to Ed.D. programs without a traditional dissertation .

It’s not a quality issue—many CAEP-accredited and top-ranking Colleges of Education have opted to go down the capstone route for the Ed.D. (e.g. University of Pittsburgh). So you should feel free to pick a program & project that tallies with your career goals. For instance, if you’re interested in teaching at college or university level, a program with a traditional dissertation may suit you best.

Online Doctorate in Health & Physical Education Programs

Are ed.d. in health & physical education programs offered online.

Yes. Our listings contain a number of online education doctorates, including some from CAEP-accredited schools. We’ve flagged them all with an “Offered Online” marker. UNC-Greensboro’s Online Ed.D. in Kinesiology claims to be the only online Doctor of Education in Kinesiology in the country.

Do Online Ed.D. in Health & Physical Education Programs Contain Residencies?

Many Online Ed.D. programs in Health & Physical Education fields will contain on-campus intensives or residencies. To cater to working professionals, these experiences are usually short (e.g. a long weekend or one week in the summer) and limited (e.g. 2-3 visits).

There are 100% online options in our listings . One example is Concordia University Chicago’s Online Ed.D. in Sports Leadership , which has no campus requirements.

Health and Physical Education Careers

Ed.d. in health & physical education jobs.

Because of the diversity of majors in this field, there all kinds of jobs available to Ed.D. in Health & Physical Education graduates. You may end up working in:

  • K-12 schools
  • Colleges & universities
  • Healthcare agencies
  • Non-profits
  • Public health organizations
  • Sports organizations
  • Athletic departments
  • Recreation departments
  • Government departments & councils
  • Corporate wellness programs

Depending on your choice of field, you could be looking at senior-level positions like:

  • Director of Curriculum & Program Development
  • Physical Education Professor
  • Kinesiology Professor
  • Health Science Professor
  • Sports Management Professor
  • Clinical Educator/Director
  • Director of Athletics
  • Athlete Development Specialist
  • Fitness Director
  • Health Promotion Manager
  • Director of Recreational Sports
  • Parks & Recreation Director
  • Public Health Program Director
  • Community Program Director
  • Director of Community Health
  • VP of Community Health
  • Senior Program/Project Manager
  • Chief Program Officer

Ed.D. in Health & Physical Education Salary

A little research on common salary sites (e.g. Glassdoor, Payscale, ZipRecruiter, Indeed, etc.) will give you ballpark estimates for your choice of job title (e.g. Community Health Director). It’s worth noting that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) also posts annual occupational & wage data for Health Education Specialists and Postsecondary Recreation & Fitness Studies Teachers .

Your choice of organization will mean a great deal. Local governments will pay less than private corporations. High school departments will pay less than college departments. And professional sports teams are going to pay a lot.

Is an Ed.D. in Physical Education or Health Education Worth it?

This is a situation where we highly recommend talking to peers, mentors, and recent Ed.D. graduates in your area of expertise. An education doctorate in an “on-the-ground” field such as sports management or recreation & community services is a big investment to make. So it pays to ask alumni about their career experiences post-graduation.

  • In some cases, a master’s degree, professional certification, and work experience is going to count for a lot more than an education doctorate. When we looked at job openings for Athletic Directors, the standard minimum was a bachelor’s degree or master’s degree.
  • In other cases, a doctorate may be a “no exceptions” prerequisite (e.g. teaching at the university level, teaching other clinicians in health professions, etc.).

Health and Physical Education Resources

  • Alliance for a Healthier Generation : The Alliance specializes in educating kids about the importance of nutrition, exercise, and preventative care. It also advocates for physical and health education in U.S. public schools.
  • American Kinesiology Association (AKA) : The AKA focuses on professional development within the field of kinesiology, offering a job board and networking opportunities for those who wish to work in this field.

About this Research Topic

This is the second volume of a successful collection.Please see the first volume here . Today's society demands to train children and adolescents who develop in an environment based on respect and the promotion of educational values. This aspect is especially relevant to promoting physical activity and its relationship with healthy habits, such as the consumption of unprocessed foods, the reduction of a sedentary lifestyle and the improvement of adherence to sports. In this sense, the World Health Organization warns that the current rates of overweight and obesity are very high and that we must combat them. From formal education, you can help improve healthy habits with educational programs, and especially in Physical Education, a subject where the work of physical, social and cognitive well-being has special relevance. Since the 20th century, studies and research that have aimed to combat unhealthy habits in educational centers and sports schools have increased. Not only by promoting physical activity within the school, but above all by seeking to generate adherence towards the future of students and athletes. Different researchers and statistical analyses have indicated how overweight rates increase while physical activities are reduced, especially as the Secondary Education stage progresses, therefore it is questionable to say what can we do to reverse this trend and continue promoting physical activity? So that this motivation is not reduced and harmful behaviors grow over the years such as alcohol or tobacco consumption, malnutrition or a sedentary lifestyle and their consequent diseases such as diabetes, cancer or cardiovascular problems. For all these reasons, the objective of this Research Topic is to receive research, both empirical and reviews, where the promotion of healthy habits related to physical activity, nutrition and mental well-being through innovative programs is highlighted. Within formal education at any educational stage including child, primary, secondary and university students. We welcome contributions in the following topics not limited to: • Community Engagement in Health Education: Explore how involving families and communities boosts the effectiveness of programs promoting physical activity and healthy habits in young people. • Nutrition Integration in Physical Education: Investigate new ways to blend nutrition education seamlessly into physical education curricula, promoting healthier lifestyles among students. • Outdoor Activities and Mental Health: Examine the positive impact of outdoor education and nature-based activities on youth physical activity levels and mental well-being. • Professional Development for PE Teachers: Explore how ongoing training equips educators to effectively promote physical activity and health among students in schools. In sum, the work of sports psychology in any extracurricular activity or sport has a special place in this Research Topic, especially in young athletes to improve their adherence in the present and future.

Keywords : Education, Physical education, Innovation, Healthy habits, Nutrition, Physical activity, Sport psychology, volume II

Annual Disability Statistics Collection

The Annual Disability Statistics Compendium, Annual Report on People With Disabilities, the Build Your Own Statistics tool, and infographics gather disability statistics published by many federal agencies into one place. They’re helpful for lawmakers and others who are working on laws or policies about disabilities, and for those writing grants for programs for people with disabilities.

2024 Release

New this year

There are many new changes to the Annual Disability Statistics Collection this year. The HTML version of the Compendium is now accessible and downloadable. Both online and downloaded versions of the Compendium can be read by screen readers. We updated the tables in the Compendium to include more measures of accuracy, and rounded estimates to the nearest thousandths to make the tables easier to read. Instead of publishing the Supplement, this year we made an online tool where you can Build Your Own Statistics.
