College administrators have for various reasons, scrutinized Physical Education basic instruction program requirements for possible reduction. In an effort to defend these requirements, assessment should be undertaken to obtain objective data that measure a program's effectiveness. This study was conducted at a four-year university to obtain data from cardiorespiratory fitness test result, attitude questionnaires of current students, and attitude questionnaires of former students . Statistical results showed overwhelming physical fitness improvement for current fitness/ wellness students and positive attitude results from current and former students. These results verify that the BIP objectives are being met, which include having students learn fitness/ wellness fundamentals and applying this knowledge to the development of lifetime health/ exercise habits. Assessment data show that students enter physical fitness classes with a positive attitude towards the value of physical education, though most lack an understanding of health/fitness concept.
