PHYSICAL TRAINING
The Department of Physical Training aims to integrate attention to the body, exercise, health, and the mind-body connection into Druidic education. However, it is a department that will probably not be completely developed until we have a residential campus. While self-study in these art forms is certainly possible, formal evaluation depends upon face-to-face observation. Until such time as the college has established this department student's interested in incorporating martial arts or physical training into their degree program should consult with the Registrar regarding transfer credit from other institutions or with particular faculty members regarding the possibility of independent study credit.
