The Physical Education (PED) Department's mission is to provide experiences that guide students in the process of becoming physically active for a life time. The department offers courses that fulfill the requirements for Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees. The department actively pursues athletic scholarships for those interested in continuing participation abroad and also provides continuous training for those athletes who intend to pursue athletic participation.

Teams from the College have participated in interscholastic sports competitions after school. The College has competed in sports such as women and men’s basketball and volleyball.

Those who are interested in joining a team must contact the Physical Education Department Chairperson. There are also opportunities through the P.E. Department for continued assistance for athletic scholarships.

Upon completion of the physical education requirement, students will be able to:

• perform basic fundamental motor skills;
• explain the importance of stretching, warming up and cooling down;
• describe the importance of physical activity;
• explain the importance of physical fitness
• understand the rules, strategies and regulations of their specific sport;
• explain the importance of proper nutrition and diet;
• develop one's own personal daily fitness workout plan; and,
• apply the knowledge gained for lifetime use.
