Weight training
Fencing
Soccer

PEAP Courses

PEAP offers courses to fulfill the science core curriculum for Texas A&M students.

In KINE 120 (one credit course), students learn the fundamentals of stress, exercise, nutrition, disease and drug use while participating in a physical activity of their choice.
KINE 223 (three credit hours) incorporates several domains of integrative learning. Here, students will learn fundamentals of health, science, and performance while participating in a physical activity of their choice.

Most courses are taken in the Physical Education Activity Program Building. The PEAP building has a large open-court area, which can be configured to four full-size basketball courts, six volleyball courts or 12 badminton courts. Other features include areas for gymnastics, archery, fencing, boot camp activities yoga, and Pilates. A lighted walking trail is located behind the building. This running and walking trail is open is open to the public. Over 25,000 Texas A&M students take classes from PEAP faculty, with thousands of others using the facilities through Texas A&M’s Department of Recreational Sports.

The PEAP Building replaced physical education programs that were housed in G. Rollie White Coliseum and the Read Building. Both buildings were razed as part of the redevelopment of Kyle Field.
