About FIT

The FIT courses offer experiential learning for a wide array of physical activities.  Academic content is taught through active engagement in class and assessed through a variety of methods.  Attendance and active engagement are keys to success in all FIT classes. Students develop skills, try an activity for the first time, or participate in a favorite fitness pursuit. Our goal is to teach, coach, and encourage students as they develop physical literacy to sustain a physically active lifestyle.  Every FIT course has course objectives and assessments that hold students accountable for learning. Our FIT Faculty are selected based on their content expertise, certifications, and qualifications to meet criteria for accreditation set by the Higher Learning Commission.
