For students who do not hold a valid New York State teacher certification.
GATE provides an alternative track for both initial and professional certification. Students without prior certification in Physical Education may enter the program. All students must achieve the minimum grade of C– or better in all undergraduate and graduate course work. A minimum GPA of 3.0 must be achieved for entrance to student teaching and graduation. Student’s prior course work and experiences will be evaluated in regard to comparability. Where there are weaknesses additional course work may be necessary.
(Note that the required courses were selected with regard to the implementation of the New York State Standards. If students have strengths or course work that are not listed in the corequisite category, substitutions may be made.)

The specialization is intended as an alternative program to teacher education, as well as an extension for coaches, recreation leaders, teachers, administrators, youth development workers and others who have an interest in the holistic development of youth through sport and physical activity.
The specialization can be completed only as part of a master’s degree, either the M.A. in Physical Education or the M.S. in Sport Management. Required Courses
