Students may enroll in courses offered at Bryn Mawr, Haverford or Swarthmore Colleges. Transfer students may receive credit for physical education courses completed at another institution with appropriate written verification contained in either a transcript or letter from the Department Chair. Up to two credits may be taken elsewhere. Students must present documentation of course objectives and standards that are equivalent to those of Bryn Mawr courses. Students who choose to take courses elsewhere must first obtain permission from the Director of Athletics and then must provide documentation of completion of those courses before credit will be awarded.
Students register for physical education courses during the first week of classes of each semester.
Course offerings are listed on the physical education home page. The swim test is offered weekly throughout the year and during Customs Week. Our courses are designed to meet the needs of the beginner as well as the more experienced dancer and our teaching staff is drawn from the ranks of professional dancers and faculty in the Philadelphia area. We offer Ballet and Modern Dance at three levels, which are supplemented by related courses such as repertory, workshops, or improvisation. We also offer two levels of Jazz technique as well as courses in African or Afro-Caribbean dance.
