Saint Benedict's and Saint John’s require that students complete one credit and one unit in physical education offered by the college. PHED 117, Skills for Healthy Living (one credit), is a required course for one mod and is completed during the first year. The student has the opportunity to select the second activity (for one unit) from several other options; some of these options are:

1. Varsity Sport (as determined by the eligibility roster)

2. Club Sport (as determined by club rosters)

3. Intramural Sport (as determined by team rosters)

4. Other intramural special course offerings

5. A physical education activity course

Courses for the coaching certification and the sports medicince minor do not fulfill this requirement.
