Physical Education/Coaching

The tables below present the occupations that are most commonly associated with a degree in Physical Education/Coaching. We have separated the tables depending on whether we examine graduates who stop their education with the bachelors degree in Physical Education/Coaching, and those who get either a masters in Physical Education/Coaching, a Ph.D. in Physical Education/Coaching. While the list above describes the occupations of students with advanced degrees in Physical Education/Coaching some students with a bachelors degree in Physical Education/Coaching will get advanced degrees in other fields. The tables listed below descibe the types of advanced degrees that were chosen by students with a bachelors in Physical Education/Coaching. Since all of the above tables present information on the average salary, it is possible to lose sight of the fact that some majors place students in jobs with a narrow range of salaries near to the mean while others place students in many different income categories. For this reason, we have drawn two frequency distributions (histograms) of Physical Education/Coaching Salaries.









Histogram of Physical Education/Coaching Salaries: Bachelors Degree Only

The diagram below includes all students with a major in Physical Education/Coaching who received no degree beyond the bachelors.
