AcademicsAccredited by the National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE)In 1993 the Department of Health and Human Performance was the first Wisconsin program to pass the rigorous standards of the National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE). The department met or exceeded the national requirements for every standard, in a time when nationally less than 25 percent of the physical education programs evaluated passed. In 2003, the department again passed NASPE standards and is one of the few NASPE accredited physical education programs in the Midwest and the only NASPE accredited program inWisconsin.
