Physical Activities
The Department of Health Promotion and Physical Education is now offering a wide array of elective one-credit hour activity courses for all Kennesaw State University students. These classes are an opportunity for students to learn new leisure activities and/or sports and to develop the basic skills that will allow them to continue to enjoy these activities/sports long after their time at KSU. The courses focus on skill development, tactics, and strategies. Courses may be taken on a graded (A-F) or pass/fail basis.
