The Department of Physical Education seeks to incorporate the concept of the whole person into the fabric of the undergraduate experience. The department strives to educate and instill in all students an appreciation of a physically fit, active, and healthy lifestyle through a curriculum that incorporates a wide variety of lifetime sports and activities. Additional academic content courses are provided leading to personal, professional, and teacher-training certifications and credentials in areas of safety, emergency response care, athletic training, and aquatics.

Facilities
Indoor sports facilities are housed in the Indoor Sports Complex, which has a main arena that seats 4,000 for basketball and volleyball and 5,000 for special events such as lectures, concerts, and graduation ceremonies. The complex contains a four-lane, five-sprint-lane track (177 meters in distance); six glass, back-walled squash courts, locker room facilities including six team rooms, and a training room with capacity for hydrotherapy and electrotherapy.

The complex also includes a gymnasium that seats 1,800 for basketball or volleyball. When not in use for competition, the gymnasium contains three multipurpose courts suitable for basketball, volleyball, badminton, and indoor soccer. The facility also houses a six-lane, 25-yard pool, eight racquetball courts, a Nautilus weight room, a dance studio, and an exercise room.

Outdoor physical education and athletic facilities extend over 25 acres and include the 2,500-seat Seawolves Field, which is the home of football and lacrosse; a six-lane, 400-meter running track; four single-wall handball/paddleball courts; tennis courts; and fields for varsity soccer, baseball, and softball. Intramural fields are available for softball, touch football, soccer, beach volleyball, and many other sports.

Most facilities may be used for recreational purposes when they are not scheduled for classes, intercollegiate athletics, intramural competitions, or special events. Current schedules of recreation hours may be obtained in the Physical Education Office.

Medical Clearance for Participants
Students having health problems that limit their participation in physical activities must inform the Department of Physical Education of these limitations in writing each school year before participating in any activities. Those students who are unsure whether or not they can safely participate in a particular program should be evaluated at the University Health Service.

Neither the Department of Physical Education nor the State University of New York maintains liability insurance coverage associated with the activities or events sponsored by the department, the Sports Complex and related sports facilities, or the University. Students assume full and complete responsibility for obtaining proper health and accident insurance coverage. All students are required to sign an Assumption of Risk form at the beginning of each semester.

A maximum of ten PEC credits, including no more than four credits of 100-level courses, may be used toward the 120 credits required for the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees or the 128 credits required for the Bachelor of Engineering degree.
