Abstract :This research aims to examine the Physical Education and Sports Teaching department through SWOT analysis and evaluate the present situation. The phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. The research group consists of 56 Sports Science students, 29 females and 27 males. During the data collection phase, a semi-structured interview form created by the researchers was used, and the data obtained were analyzed using a descriptive analysis technique. As a result of the research, students described the Physical education and sports teaching department as sacred; they stated that the number of applied courses was small. They also emphasized that there is a diversity of work in the field and that injury is also a risk factor. According to the research results, it may be suggested to carry out complementary studies to improve the negative aspects and include other departments within the sports sciences.
