Kinesiology and Health Science
All BSc Honours degree candidates must complete
a specified core of academic and practicum courses, and, depending
on individual interests, personal objectives and the stream selected,
complement the designated requirements with optional courses from
within and outside the kinesiology and health science curriculum.
The streams available for proceeding towards a BSc Honours in the
Specialized Honours program are a) health and kinesiology and b)
applied certificate. The Health and Kinesiology Stream is particularly
suited to students aspiring to careers related to teaching or recreation
or for those desiring a generalized approach to kinesiology and
health science. The Applied Certificate Stream focuses on specific
professionally related areas; a student in this stream graduates
with a certificate as well as a BSc Honours.
Kinesiology and health science may also be combined
with the study of another science major or a minor within the Faculty
of Pure and Applied Science in a BSc Honours Double Major or Honours
Major/Minor program.
On entering the University and selecting kinesiology
and health science as a major, first-year BSc Honours students are
automatically enrolled in the Health and Kinesiology Stream of Specialized
Honours. Students who hope to proceed in Honours Double Major or
Honours Major/Minor programs select 1000-level science and mathematics
options (within this stream) which are appropriate for the second
major or the minor. After successful completion of 24 academic credits
with a cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of at least
5.0 (C+), students declare their choice of program and stream. Entrance
into the Applied Certificate Stream requires an application at this
time - contact the School of Kinesiology and Health Science regarding
application requirements and procedures.
Note: Students may only be enrolled in one
certificate stream at a time.
