Most courses are designed for the beginner level unless a prerequisite is noted or an advanced level is listed. All courses are available on an elective basis since the University does not have a Physical Education requirement. Upon successful completion of a course the student receives undergraduate academic credit. Most courses award one credit but certification courses award two credits. Each course may be completed only once for degree credit.
Undergraduate students peer teach many of the class sections and earn two academic credits.
The program gives undergraduates the opportunity to learn and practice leadership and teaching skills through classroom study and practical experience. Copyright 2000 University of Massachusetts, Amherst .
