    Bachelor of Kinesiology

    In the Kinesiology program, you go well beyond the questions of how and why we move, and start to explore how we can optimize the human potential for health, performance, and overall wellness.

    In your first and second year, you learn foundational topics such as human anatomy, sport psychology, biomechanics, and human nutrition, as well as physical activity, health, and fitness. You explore a variety of fields that may be of interest before choosing to specialize in exercise science, pedagogy, or active health.

    In your third and fourth year, you develop skills for teaching and counselling athletes, and learn about athletic injuries, research methods, applied ethics, physiology, exercise testing, and exercise prescription. You also select a specialty out of the following specializations:

  • The Exercise Science specialization prepares you for a career as a kinesiologist or exercise physiologist, graduate school, and/or professional school (such as physiotherapy, medicine or chiropractic).
  • The Pedagogy specialization prepares you for continued certification in teacher education, coaching, sport performance advising, and/or graduate school.
  • The Active Health specialization prepares you for a career in health and wellness, specifically community health and fitness, athletic therapy, sports psychology, and fitness management and recreation, and those planning to continue onto graduate school.

  • To compare the three specializations and view the course requirements, please see the kinesiology program outline in the Academic Calendar.

    Kinesiology Minor

    If you are pursuing a Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of General Studies, you can opt to complete a minor in Kinesiology to learn about human anatomy and movement.

    Learn the various influences that affect human physical performance whether that be emotional, behavioural, cognitive or the physiological systems within our bodies. Acquire counselling skills used by instructors and consultants in the fitness industry, and find out how and when to apply them.

    Please note that the program outline for the Kinesiology minor for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of General Studies students is slightly different than the Kinesiology minor for Bachelor of Science students.
