The Cornell University Physical Education Department is proud to offer one of the largest and most diverse Physical Culture Programs in the Ivy League: over 100 courses are available, taught by experienced and gifted instructors. Thousands of students, staff, and area residents attend these classes every semester. Although many Cornell students pre-register for courses on the internet prior to the semester, many individuals also choose to participate in the walk-in registration held at the beginning of the semester.
