The Health, Physical Education and Recreation Program prepares students for a career that requires leadership, confidence, decision-making skills and a strong foundation in health and physical fitness.

Students can receive an Associate in Science with a focus in Health, P.E. and Recreation. They can then transfer to four-year universities to earn a baccalaureate degree in physical education-related programs, such as education, exercise science, sports management and coaching. The transfer program at Gadsden State requires a minimum of 60 hours of courses to earn an associate degree.
