Physical Education

Many studies have pointed to a positive correlation between exercise and academic success. With this and many other benefits in mind, Delaware Valley University constructed the required core curriculum with two physical education credits.


Our physical education courses serve as opportunities for you to ensure that you're in peak physical condition throughout your studies. The overall goal of these courses is to help students refine their level of fitness. This goal is accomplished throughout a number of activities, including:

  • Weight training
  • Aerobic conditioning
  • Jogging
  • Dance exercise
  • Dance on video
  • Aerobics

PE 1109 and 1209 can be taken up to four times, with the first two credits serving to satisfy core physical education requirements and the next two counting as additional elective credits.
