Within the liberal arts framework at Tufts University, the physical education program offers students instruction in individual, dual, and group activities that promote lifelong fitness and enjoyment. Courses in aquatics, racquet sports, fencing, aerobics, physical fitness, and outdoor education are some examples of the diverse offerings of the department. Approximately fifty courses are scheduled each academic year, and most courses are offered fall and spring semesters. Every effort is made to maintain limited enrollment in all courses, to provide each student with maximum personal attention from the instructors.
One-half academic credit is granted for courses that are skill-oriented, and a total of two such credits may be applied toward the total for the degree. Introductory level courses are offered on a pass-fail basis. Theory classes of one course credit are applicable toward the degree. No advanced placement or retroactive credit will be given for any physical education courses.
Athletics has been an important part of life at Tufts throughout its history. The athletic program provides students the opportunity to compete in both intercollegiate and intramural sports, and also to engage in general recreation. Tufts fields seventeen varsity teams for men and women, supports eight club sports organizations, and offers several intramural sports programs.
