Physical Education
Activity Classes
The Physical Education program seeks to improve the
physical-fitness levels of each student, introduce new activities, or improve
and increase students' recreational skills through our offerings of over 30
different courses. Emphasis is placed on instruction in a variety of popular
sports and recreational activities, especially those with carry-over value for
postcollege years.
Every regularly enrolled student must satisfy the 3-credit
Physical Education requirement unless excused by the Department. It is possible
to be excused from Physical Education classes by application to the Department

Unsatisfactory.
