The
Department of Physical Education
To be liberally educated a person
should be knowledgeable about proper
nutrition, the benefits of activity and
their bodies. The physical education
program provides the student with an
opportunity to maintain a physically
healthy existence as well as a vigorous
intellectual one.
The instructional programs are designed
with three major objectives: (1) to
educate individuals for careers directly
related to physical education; (2) to
provide cognate courses, for students
interested in the various health fields;
and (3) to provide students with the
opportunity to understand and develop
their own physical and athletic abilities
with the goal of achieving healthier, more
active lives.
The Department of Physical Education is
located in the Dow Recreation and Wellness
Center located on Alumni Field. The Dow
Center includes three multi-purpose courts
surrounded by a 1/9-mile track, two racquetball
courts, four indoor tennis courts (located
in the adjacent Ungrodt Tennis Center), a human performance laboratory,
training room, weight room, classrooms,
locker rooms and offices. This facility
provides indoor space for recreation,
intramurals and classes, and a practice
area for outdoor sports during inclement
weather. The Dean Aquatic Center includes a T-shaped
pool, 25 yards by 25 meters, and diving well. Outdoor field space
includes Sprankle-Sprandel Stadium, the
site of varsity football and track;
varsity soccer fields; Dempsey Softball
Field and Joranko Baseball Field; tennis
courts, and multiple intramural fields for
field sports and softball. The canoe house
provides canoes and kayaks for use on the
Kalamazoo River adjacent to Alumni Field.
Additional tennis courts are located
behind the Wesley living complex.
