Helping student achieve their individual fitness goals are the highest priority for the IVC Adapted Kinesiology Fitness Program. As part of the college's longstanding commitment to serve the entire community and embrace our tradition of rich diversity, Adapted Kinesiology is a key component in the programs of the School of Kinesiology, Health and Athletics and our colleagues in Disability Support Programs for Students (DSPS). Classes have been designed for those with temporary or chronic conditions who cannot attain their fitness goals in conventional ways.
The Health and Nutrition program continues to be responsive to dynamic changes in a global learning environment. Primary in these course offerings are classes that address the fundamental challenge of balancing personal health with the personal challenges including academia, careers, social tensions and stress in a world of continuous environmental, medical and nutritional change.
The IVC Writing Program focuses the conventions and expectations of college-level reading and writing as they reflect the essential skills of critical thinking, and the careful reading, analysis and interpretation of texts.
Literature courses at IVC are designed to prepare students for further study at four-year institutions, to teach techniques of careful and informed reading, and to enhance students' understanding and therefore enjoyment of literature. These courses introduce the major genres and traditions of literary expression across a broad range of cultures, historical periods and geographical areas. At the same time, the program explores the way that literature has been approached within the professional field of literary study.
