 The Department of Physical Education offers a wide range of activity classes intended to give students the skills and knowledge to embrace a lifestyle that includes physical activity. The Department also offers a survey class on the principles of healthful living, and certification classes in first aid, CPR, and lifeguard training, and aquatic instruction.

Intercollegiate Athletic Program

The intercollegiate athletic program provides the opportunity for UCR students to experience quality competition in the sports of men's basketball, baseball, track, cross country, and tennis, and also in women's basketball, volleyball, track, cross country, tennis, and softball.

In April 1999, UCR declared its intent to move to Division I. The university is currently in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and will begin competition in the 2001-2002 academic year in the Big West Conference.

As part of the move to Division I, golf and soccer will be added for both men's and women's sports in the 2001-2002 academic year.

Individuals interested in the program should contact the coach or athletic director. Any of the above sports may be taken for credit.
