That's right. At Ithaca, not only can anyone get a taste of a quintessential collegiate sport, but you can earn class credit for doing it!
Intro to Rowing is offered as a PALS course worth .5 credits. We take advantage of the beautiful weather at the beginning of the semester and run the course every weekday, BUT you only need to attend for a total of 14 sessions to collect your passing grade.
1st years - this is a particularly great way for you to meet other new students and set yourself up with good time management and exercise habits when you first arrive on campus.
If you decide you love it & want to continue, the course continues through the entire 1st block. Before you know it, you may even end up as a varsity rower, representing IC at regional and national level competitions.
So... Add PALS 05600 to your schedule. Be a champion ...or just kick off college with .5 credits based entirely off your sense of adventure.
