Physical Education Requirements

All Hartwick students must complete two 1-credit skill classes from two different physical education (PHED) courses in order to graduate. Those PHED courses worth two credits cannot satisfy the requirement alone. Students are urged to complete the requirement prior to the senior year. The department offers many 1-credit skill courses and athletic participation situations which may be combined in a variety of ways to meet this requirement. No course may be repeated for credit.

Participation in any traditional season of an intercollegiate sport may be used to fulfill one credit. A multi-sport student may only use one team sport credit; the other credit must come from the approved dance theatre courses or an additional activity course. Students may receive physical education credit for participation in a course or related sport, but not both.

These combinations CANNOT together satisfy the requirement:

One Theatre Arts class from the following may count toward the skill-course requirement:

Men’s and Women’s Intercollegiate Athletics

1 non-academic credit given based on coaches’ roster submission at the end of the season

Only 1 Intercollegiate participation course may be counted toward the Phys. Education skill course requirement
