Venue description

Exercise Science and Physical Education Department was first known as the Newark Normal School of Physical Education and Hygiene. Due to the poor physical condition of the World War I recruits, the country began to look at the need for good physical education and health instruction in grades 1 through 12. There were, however, a few teachers who were qualified to possibly teach these subjects, but there wasn't a teacher training institution in the state to prepare these perspective teachers. To meet this need, in 1917 the Newark Normal School of Physical Education and Hygiene was founded by Matthias Machery and Randall D. Warden, Directors of Physical Education for the city of Newark. Department of Exercise Science and Physical Education is to provide significant, carefully developed programs and appropriate academic offerings at the undergraduate and graduate levels, offered in concert with the fundamental mission of Montclair State University. The basic goal of the baccalaureate degree programs is the development of well-educated professionals, capable of contributing within the context of their chosen specialty, to the quality of Education and Human Services in the society.
