Kinesiology and Health Science
The School of Kinesiology and Health Science
offers courses leading to a BA degree in kinesiology and health
science in Specialized Honours, Honours, Honours Double Major and
Honours Major/Minor programs. In each of these programs, students
complete a specified core of academic and practicum courses which,
depending on individual interests, personal objectives and the stream
selected, complement the designated requirements with optional courses
from within and outside the school. The streams available for proceeding
to the degree are: a) Health and Kinesiology and b) Applied Certificate.
On entering the University and selecting kinesiology and health
science as a major, students are automatically enrolled in the Health
and Kinesiology Science Stream. After successful completion of 24
credits students optionally apply for the Applied Certificate Stream.
The Applied Certificate Stream offers programs in: a) coaching,
b) sport administration, c) athletic therapy, and d) fitness assessment
and exercise counselling. Students may only be enrolled in one certificate
stream at a time. Certificate programs are also available to degree
candidates and visiting students who are not kinesiology and health
science majors. Please contact the School of Kinesiology and Health
Science for a supplemental calendar describing the requirements
and application procedures for specific certificate streams.
