All students are required to complete PE 198 Lifetime Wellness (2 cr) as part of their general education requirement.  The position of the Department of Kinesiology is that the knowledge, skills, experiences and attitudes gained through the Lifetime Wellness course are essential to individuals of all ages, conditions, and backgrounds.  The benefits to be obtained are in no way diminished by the age, condition, ability level or previous activity/academic history of a student.  Therefore, these factors should not exempt a student from this requirement. While the Department encourages the participation of all individuals in physical activity, regardless of physical condition, it wishes to remain sensitive to the individual needs and limitations of students at Washburn.  Students with disabilities should enroll in a regular section of Lifetime Wellness and will have necessary adaptations made in that particular activity.

Transfer Policy

Students may transfer similar wellness courses to Washburn to fulfill the Lifetime Wellness requirement.  In order to meet this requirement, students must have completed a similar number of college level wellness lecture topics that parallel PE 198 Lifetime Wellness, as well as an appropriate activity component.
