Question

the Historicallly black university

Answer 1

This is from the Howard College of Arts and Sciences website:

"Physical Education

No student is excused from the requirement of four semesters of physical education. Since health and physical efficiency are continuing experiences, neither age nor prior service in the military qualifies any student for total exemption from the requirement. Veterans may gain exemption by passing the health and fitness tests given at the beginning of each semester by the Department of Physical Education. Students with physical or emotional problems must be examined by the University Health Service, which will determine the extent of disability and recommend the suitable courses that can be taken without incapacitating the student. Four 1-credit courses (health and swimming, along with two activities) are required."

If you are in the College of Arts & Sciences then the answer is yes.

Answer 2

Yes
