* The specific degree: A Bachelor of Science in Physical Education might require a different number of credit hours than a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education or a related field like Kinesiology.
* The university or college: Each institution sets its own requirements. Some universities might have a general requirement of 120 credit hours for a bachelor's degree, but the distribution of those hours across different subjects will vary. A physical education program might require more or fewer hours than other majors.
* Specializations: If a student focuses on a particular area within physical education (e.g., coaching, adapted physical education, exercise physiology), the required credit hours might be influenced.
To find the precise number of credit hours needed, you must consult the specific university's or college's catalog or website for their physical education program. Look for the degree requirements section.
