Physical Education Courses

The Barnard Physical Education Department offers a diverse range of course activities to accommodate student interests and abilities.  Barnard students must complete one Physical Education course during their designated semester in their First Year.  Transfer students must complete one semester of Physical Education by the end of the Junior Year (if their transfer credit evaluation necessitates a PE course).  There are no exemptions from the PE requirement.  Dance technique courses, intercollegiate athletic teams, and some Columbia clubs also fulfill the Physical Education requirement and have different registration procedures.  Students should contact the Physical Education Department Chair with any questions.
