Church Teachers College. Dept. of Physical Education
In 1909, Brigham Young University renamed and refocused the mission of its College. The Church Teachers College absorbed all of the Colleges departments but centered their energies into thoroughly preparing collegiate students to become high school educators. In 1910 the Department of Physical Education was created. When the Church Teachers College split in 1920, the Department of Physical Education retained its name and function under the administration of the School of Arts and Sciences.
