Our Foundation
As noted in PLU's Principles of General Education, the faculty and staff at PLU are committed "to nurturing the development of whole persons—in body, mind, and spirit." In support
of this commitment, the
Department of Movement Studies and Wellness Education (MSWE) provides a rich variety of
educational
experiences that help students satisfy both General University
Requirements (GURs), as well as pre-professional preparation requirements
in several undergraduate majors and minors. The wide range of physical
activity classes offered by MSWE enables students to satisfy their four (4) required GUR credits but, more importantly, are intended to help students increase their awareness, knowledge
and behavioral skills regarding the role of physical activity as a
foundation for lifelong health and fitness. Further, we believe our
undergraduate pre-professional preparation programs, which integrate
both liberal arts and professional education, truly prepare students
"for lives of thoughtful inquiry, service, leadership and care" (PLU
2010, p.1).
