Kinesiology and Health Science - Arts


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 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 kinesiology and health science for a supplemental calendar describing the requirements and application procedures for specific certificate streams.
