Welcome to Physical Education

Our office offers a variety of physical education courses for undergraduate students to complete the swim requirement and the 8 point General Institute Requirement. The swim requirement can be met by completing a beginner swim course or electing to test out. 

Courses generally meet twice a week for 40 minutes. The program administers over 40 different instructional activities beginning every six weeks during the academic year.

Students are expected to complete the Physical Education General Institute Requirement by end of their second year. If you have concerns about completing the General Institute Requirement by the end of your 2nd year, please contact the physical education office at mitpe@mit.edu or make an appointment at 617-253-4291.
