Physical Education

The Department of Physical Education is committed to promoting an appreciation for lifelong wellness while enriching our students’ learning experiences. We engage students through a variety of instructional and recreational classes that encourage personal health and well-being, cultivate leadership, and provide opportunities for collaboration and teamwork. Through participation, students develop skills and knowledge on the importance of movement and exercise while building a foundation for a healthy, physically active lifestyle after graduation.

All students at WPI are required to take four 1/12 units in Physical Education and are encouraged to complete this graduation requirement in their first two years. Students may earn PE credits through participation in varsity athletics, club sports, general physical education, and healthy alternative physical education courses.  Learn more about undergraduate studies and graduation requirements.
