The Department of Physical Education and Health prepares students for a lifetime commitment to physical activity and well-being with an emphasis on individual fulfillment. Courses in physical education: 1) develop positive attitudes and skills leading to physical fitness and health; 2) develop discipline and commitment to goals and, in team sports, to social and moral standards such as sportsmanship and teamwork; and 3) stress awareness of beneficial and harmful health practices as they relate to physical well-being and quality of life.

No more than four credits of physical education courses may be counted toward the graduation credit requirement.
