The University of Illinois first offered physical education to women through the School of Domestic Science in 1874.
In 1919, the Department of Physical Training for Women was renamed the Department of Physical Education for Women.
In 1957, the School of Physical Education became the College of Physical Education, and a dean replaced the director. During this reorganization, a new Department of Health and Safety Education and a new Department of Recreation took responsibility for some of the instruction offered by physical education for women.
