Hi First-Years,
As part of your first-year requirements, you are expected to complete the Physical Education (PE) requirement within your first year. This can be fulfilled by enrolling in one Barnard PE class or one Barnard dance class.
Earlier, in Volume 1 of Barnard Beginnings, you filled out the Physical Education Requirement Preference Form by the deadline (June13). Based on your preferences, you’ll be notified via email before July registration about whether you’ve been selected to fulfill the PE requirement in Fall 2025 or Spring 2026.
If you’re selected to fulfill the Physical Education requirement in Fall 2025, be sure to register for your PE or dance class during the July registration period.
The Physical Education department offers a variety of classes, including yoga, body sculpting, pilates, tai chi, strength training, and health coaching. For dance, you can choose from courses in ballet, modern, tap, hip hop, and more.
