The Health and Physical Education Department also provides students with the foundation for further study in a variety of areas at the graduate level. |

| Program Strengths |
| |
| Many students explore the possibility of turning an interest in sports and physical fitness into a career. A major in physical education or health and fitness administration may be just the career for a person with those interests. |
- The Jamestown College HPE department strives to play a leading role in the growth and development of competent physical educators, athletic coaches, and health and fitness administrators who will contribute successfully to the well-being of our society by enabling students to pursue the study of the biological, psychological, sociological, spiritual, and biomechanical foundations on which this profession rests.
- The department strongly advocates the need for educating and preparing young people for a lifetime commitment to, and involvement in, physical activity as well as the knowledge and practical abilities necessary in the teaching and administration of this highly skilled profession.
- As a liberal arts institution, Jamestown College is very much aware of the physiological and psychological importance of a strong and viable physical education program, as well as the extracurricular programs that are derivatives of the program.
