REQUIREMENTS:

Degree requirements include the successful completion of
five physical education activity courses, Physical Education (PE)

courses required for a degree. Students are required to take the
proficiency test prior to registering for any physical education
course and proceeding into the elective program.
Freshmen are given the opportunity to elect whether the
grade for the one credit which they will receive in Physical
Education will be recorded as a letter grade or recorded as a
Pass/Fail grade. This election must be accomplished during the fall
term prior to midterm. The decision is binding and no subsequent
change is permitted.
