Students should attempt to complete these courses during their first year. Students who are unable to enroll in these courses due to medical problems should see the chairperson of the Department of Health and Physical Education to develop a suitable individualized program. Students who transfer from another institution and have completed two credits in health and physical education before enrolling at Marywood have satisfied this requirement. A place-out test is available in aquatics. It must be attempted before earning 90 credits.
Testing is done each fall and spring semester.
Contact the department chairperson for details. Students are encouraged to develop a habit of physical activity and not limit their exposure to the minimum Undergraduate School requirement of two credits. Programs Students wishing to make the field of physical activity their career choice may elect to major in Health and Physical Education. Those students majoring in Health and Physical Education have three tracts in choosing the type of degree they wish to pursue. All three tracts lead to a B.S. degree in Health and Physical Education.
