NMU HPER Program Advantages
Some of the advantages enjoyed by the Department of HPER at NMU include relatively small class size, access to some of the finest facilities and equipment available, and the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of internships and work experiences. Traditionally, the Department has developed opportunities for students to obtain experiences such as teaching, leading groups, offering workshops, and assisting and leading wilderness trips. These opportunities have proven to be invaluable for students applying for positions upon graduation.

Successful Outcomes:
Students graduating from the program have found placements in a wide variety of occupations across the United States and, in fact, worldwide. In addition to teaching positions in physical education and health education, students have been successful as certified athletic trainers;  outdoor recreation specialists; sports medicine professionals; and a number have continued their studies at the graduate level.
