To do that, we offer 140 different courses – FOR CREDIT – in sport skills, fitness activities, and health & wellness topics.

We are proud to say that our goal to help students develop healthy habits for a lifetime dovetails well with the University’s Discovery Themes of health and wellness. When you take SFHP classes, you get some great benefits:

  • Physical movement in activities classes
  • Useful knowledge in health/wellness lecture classes

  • Academic credit!

SFHP classes will help round out your college experience with a focus on physical activity and a healthy lifestyle that you can rely on for the rest of your life. We take your health and wellness seriously and strive to ensure that our classes are taught by topnotch instructors who are experts in their fields. Classes are held in state-of-the-art facilities with well-kept equipment and gear. We offer both activity-based and lecture-format classes (including some online), and for the more adventurous students, the Outdoor Pursuits classes are a great opportunity for new experiences.
