Activity Courses
In support of our mission to promote physical activity, the Kinesiology and Sport Management Department offers a wide range of activity courses each semester. These classes are open to all Gonzaga University students and may be repeated for credit. View the current activity classes.
Note: All students may enroll in the activity courses listed below. No more than eight credits, however, in any combination of activity courses can be earned towards a bachelor's degree and no more than one of these courses can be taken in a semester.
Majors in Kinesiology, however, may take up to twelve credits from these activity courses. Activity courses can only be taken on standard pass/fail grading modes, and cannot be taken on audit grading mode or any "no credit" program. Activity courses may be repeated more than once for credit.
