Information about PE Classes

The Physical Activity and Wellness Program is an 8 semester hour commitment and is available to all students across campus. Particularly attractive to those students who enjoy physical activity, the program combines study of the basic principles of wellness with participation in a broad range of physical activity categories. The specific course of study is shown below.

KINE 1100: Wellness (2)
6 hours from 3 other PHED courses
Optional courses must be from 3 different categories (e.g. fitness, team sports, aquatics)

While completion of this program is not recorded on transcripts or diplomas, students can request a certificate upon completion if they wish.

Students are reminded that spaces in these courses are limited, and they will fill quickly.

Students may add themselves to PHED courses with openings until the end of the first week of classes.
After the first week of classes, no one will be added to any PHED courses.
No student should seek permission from a PHED instructor to be added since PHED instructors do not have the authority to add students to their PHED class(es).

While most courses offered in the Physical Activity and Wellness program involve no external fee, some do.

These include: bowling, karate, kayaking, scuba, golf, water skiing, angling and keelboat sailing.
