Fitness and Wellness
In addition to the previously described degree programs, the department is responsible for the oversight of the institution's general education requirements for "Fitness and Wellness for Life." Courses that fulfill these requirements are designed to emphasize responsible stewardship of God's creation through maintenance of personal health. Students develop skills and establish habits that prepare them for a lifetime of healthy living and physical well-being. Students are required to complete three separate courses in fitness and wellness.
The learning outcomes for the Fitness for Life courses include the following:
- Provide an environment for students to participate in regular physical activity.
- Challenge students to develop healthy lifestyle habits and choices.
- Develop an understanding and appreciation for the miraculous creation of the human body.
- Understand and apply appropriate fitness and wellness terminology.
