Health and Physical Education (HPE)
Total education involves education of the soul, mind, and body. The body is God's temple for those who are in Christ; therefore, it is everyone's responsibility to be good stewards of the body God has provided.

The minor may also provide another teaching emphasis to those who are seeking employment in education.
