Overview

Cape Breton University's Bachelor of Arts Community Studies in Sport and Physical Activity Leadership prepares students to lead sport and physical activity programs and systems, combining current theory with community-based and experiential learning. The curriculum builds expertise across sport management, health and wellness, outdoor leadership, and coaching, with an emphasis on understanding how leadership affects both individuals and communities. It is offered as a concentration, major, or honours option within the Bachelor of Arts Community Studies degree, available as a three-year or four-year credential. Learning is applied directly through community and experiential components rather than classroom study alone, preparing graduates to design and run sport and physical activity programming in schools, recreation departments, sport organizations, and community health settings, and to take on leadership roles across the wider sport and physical activity sector.
