Independent Study
Independent Study Physical Education supports students who choose to engage in an activity/course that Bryn Mawr’s Department of Athletics and Physical Education does not offer and/or is a class or activity that is performed during the summer or while a student is studying abroad. The IS opportunity, does not include activities that students engage in as a part of a regular lifestyle or fitness routine. Self-paced/working out on your own is not acceptable. Classes must be instructor based with documentation of
participation. We hope all students participate regularly, in activities that support a healthy lifestyle, but the IS option is to enhance the current physical education curriculum. Students may earn up to 2 PE credits for an independent study project. Prior to the start of the IS, projects must be submitted in writing and be approved by the Director of Physical Education.
Independent Study Requirements
Minimum time requirement:
12 hrs = 1 PE credit
24 hrs = 2 PE credits
Within one week of the conclusion of the course/activity, a written summary along with an written evaluation from the instructor must be submitted to the Director of Physical Education. Please include documentation, logs etc.
