BA/BS in Kinesiology

This Honours Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology is offered by the Faculty of Education and Health, delivered on campus over four years and 120 credits, with fourth-year classes kept small, at roughly ten to twenty-five students. The curriculum examines the scientific principles underlying human movement through anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, biomechanics, motor control, ergonomics, and exercise prescription, taught through both laboratory and classroom study. Students complete a required practicum in an area such as rehabilitation, ergonomics, or gerontology, and in their final year choose between a major research project or an applied internship. Graduates qualify to write the Kinesiology registration exam and can pursue certification with the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario. It suits students with an interest in the science of human movement and health, and leads to careers as ergonomists, exercise therapy specialists, registered kinesiologists, or rehabilitation specialists, as well as graduate study in human kinetics, medicine, law, or the therapy professions.
