This study entitled “Students Apathy Towards Physical Education in Higher Education” focused on level of student apathy toward Physical Education (PE) among freshmen and examined the relationship between their demographic profiles and levels of apathy across five dimensions: behavioral, cognitive, emotional, social, and physical. Using a quantitative-descriptive correlational research design, data were collected from 120 freshmen students at PHINMA – Araullo University enrolled in Physical Activity Towards Health and Fitness 2 (PathFit) during the academic year 2024–2025 second semester. Accordingly, the study's findings served as the foundation for the proposed intervention plan. These suggested intervention strategies may be helpful in strengthening and enhancing the techniques, approaches, and practices in physical education classes, thus it is recommended by the researcher to use those intervention plan by the physical education teachers and school administration as it will lead to increase and improve the motivation and participation of students.
