Students seeking provisional teacher certification in physical education (K-12) must be admitted to the College of Education. Among the prerequisites for admission are a minimum undergraduate GPA of 2.5, a minimum GPA of 2.75 in the teaching major, and a letter of recommendation. In addition, applicants are required to pass the Michigan Test for Teacher Certification (MTTC) basic skills test.

Students seeking provisional certification will complete a planned program of studies leading toward K-12 certification in physical education. Students must also complete an approved minor in a secondary subject area. Additionally, once course work is completed, students must pass the MTTC.
