Program details
Overview
This undergraduate program, offered as a Major within Bishop's University's Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree, provides an intensive study of sport in society within a liberal arts framework. Housed in the Department of Sports Studies within the Faculty of Social Sciences, the program requires students to declare a concentration in one to three of Athletic Development, Business and Society, or Health and Exercise. It can be completed in three or four years, with intake in both the Fall and Winter terms. The program combines academic coursework with practical placement opportunities, including for-credit placements with Bishop's Gaiters varsity athletics program in areas such as game-day operations, team operations, communications, and athletic therapy. Graduates are prepared for a range of sport- and recreation-related careers spanning management, coaching, sports media, and allied health fields, and the program provides a foundation for further graduate study in sport-related disciplines.
