CMS Department of Physical Education and Recreation

The Colleges requires all students to complete three semesters of physical education. Participation on a CMS intercollegiate athletic team will also count towards fulfilling the physical education requirement. All students are expected to complete this requirement during their freshman and sophomore years, except for those excused by the Chair of the Department of Physical Education for medical reasons or because of prior military service.

Registration procedures and deadlines for physical education courses or teams are identical to those of credit courses. Courses offered through other Claremont Colleges may also be elected.

Spring 2008 classes begin January 28

For physical education questions, contact physical education director Randy Town at randy.town@cms.claremont.edu or the CMS athletic department at x72904.
