BACKGROUND NOTE
Physical education has always been included in the
curriculum of South Dakota State University. The objective of a strong
mind, body and spirit is consistent with the philosophy of "educating
the total person." Since the earliest years, students have been
required to take either physical education or military science in order
to graduate. Physical education courses took many different forms over
the years, usually consistent with contemporary thinking. Courses were
taught by departments, which went by various names, including the
Department of Music and Physical Culture, the Department of Elocution
and Physical Culture, and Physical Education and Recreation.
In the 1940's, a major in physical education was
established, with different requirements for males and females. In
1953, a graduate degree was offered through the department. The
Physical Education Department changed its name to the Department of
Health, Physical Education and Recreation [HPER] in 1969-70. This
change was quickly followed by an added degree in public recreation.
Other minor and major programs were also offered through the department.
Athletic training, health promotion, HPER and public
recreation are currently offered as undergraduate majors. Students may
also pursue an MS in HPER. The department also maintains the Wellness
Center, a campus health club.
