Physical Education
The coeducational physical education program at Hartwick is designed to
develop skills in a variety of physical activities that contribute to the joy of
living, to wholesome use of leisure time, and to the development of health
and fitness. The program provides each student with an opportunity to
develop sufficient physical, mental, social and motor skills to be used in a
lifetime of movement related activities.
This physical education program is enhanced by the Frederick Moore
Binder Physical Education Center. The Center houses instructional and
physical education facilities including the Elting Fitness Center; Moyer
Pool, an eight-lane, 25-yard swimming pool and diving complex;
handball, racquetball, and squash courts; gymnasium; and dance studio.
Horsemanship classes are held at Hunter’s Rein Stable, home of the
College’s equestrian team. Several off-campus facilities also are utilized
for physical education courses: golf at Wood Haven Golf Course, bowling
at Holiday Lanes, and horsemanship at Hunter’s Rein Stable, home of the
College’s equestrian team.
Physical Education Requirement
All Hartwick students must complete two 1-credit skill courses (PHED) in
physical education in order to graduate. Students are urged to do this
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. A maximum of one credit may be
earned for a specific activity. No course may be repeated for credit. It is
strongly recommended that students enroll in at least one swimming
course, as this activity is important for safety in water-related recreational
activities.
One 1-credit skill course credit may be granted for participation in the
total traditional season of an intercollegiate sport. A particular sport may
generate one- credit only. Students may receive physical education credit
for participation in a course or related sport, but not both.
Theatre Arts 110, 111, 112, or 212 (any one) may count toward the skillcourse
requirement.
Some skill courses carry an additional fee, which is listed in the course
schedule prepared by the Registrar. These fees are non-refundable once
the term begins. Courses marked ($) below require an additional fee, and
courses that require equipment (E) or transportation (T) also are marked.
