I went to the Unniversity of Minnesota and there were/are a number of MA clubs as well as a few classes that are for credit. The classes tend to be for 1 credit and almost always are taught by a local instructor that has a school nearby and possibly an affiliation with one of the clubs on campus.

I began TKD at the University club, continued at the main school after graduation, and even tried out judo for a semester so I could get an extra credit in to round out my schedule that term.

As with all MAs and intructors, you need to check them out a bit before you sign on. Clubs tend to be much less expensive than taking a class for credit but that in no way means the quality is less.

Oh, MA clubs at the U of M included:

Judo

Shotokan

Vo Lam Kung Fu

Tae Kwon Do

Tai Chi Chuan

Aikido

Fencing (it is an art in my opinion, tough too)

Ice Hockey (Just kidding, it is offered and pretty violent though -and tons of fun!)

Classes were available for beginner levels in:

Shotokan

TKD

Judo

I went to Idaho State University and they had classes for TKD, Judo, Jujitsu, Tai Chi, and Fencing. These classes did have a fee of $75 per semester, but you break that into the 3-4 months per semester and it's much less than the local classes. And the annual dues for the advanced students that want to continue are only $20/yr. I have yet to find anything near these prices. I did take the TKD class in college and still help instruct as my schedule allows at a satelite campus. I also took a semester of Judo and attended some of the Jujitsu classes. I found all of them to be high quality schools. (trust me, just because I went to ISU doesn't mean I'm giving it a good review ). The also had a Tang Su Do club but I'm not sure whether there was a fee or not. I had little exposure to them but what I did see of the students it also appeared to be a high quality club.
