Credit for varsity sports may be substituted for two regularly scheduled physical education classes. In addition to the four semesters of physical education activities required for general education, the student may complete four more semesters for credit (a maximum of eight) for graduation. Students age 21 and older at the time of entrance to Biola are exempt from the physical education requirement. Students studying for the multiple subject teaching credential but not selecting physical education as a minor area of emphasis, should select P.E. 201 and two other physical education activity classes to fulfill the general education requirement.
