The Associate of Science degree, with an emphasis in physical education, is articulated with Eastern Oregon University’s Department of Health and Physical Education leading to a baccalaureate in Physical Education. This program has two goals: to prepare students for entry into the health and fitness industry upon completion of the Associate of Science, and to serve as a foundation for further study in the academic discipline, leading to a bachelor’s degree and beyond.

The Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in physical education at Southwestern also meets all requirements for the AA/OT, so no additional courses outside of the degree need to be taken in order for a student to meet both degree requirements.  When applying for graduation at Southwestern two separate degree applications must be submitted for the Associate of Science and the Associate of Art Oregon Transfer.
