***TTU recommends BIOL 2010 Human Anatomy and Physiology I . MTSU requires two different sciences.

****Students who intend to transfer to MTSU or UOM do not need to take this course.  Instead students are encouraged to take additional physical education activity elective courses.

*****Students who intend to transfer to TTU should take EDUC 2210  and an additional 4 credit hour Natural Science course with lab that completes a Natural Science General Education sequence.

UTK does not offer physical education as a teacher licensure program.

Check www.tntransferpathway.org to review Physical Education notes for required courses bases on transfer university. Students should meet with their assigned advisor to determine courses required for the university chosen.

Students and advisors should run a degree audit using Degree Works in ChargerNet each semester to confirm classes are applicable to the program of study.
