Program details

Overview

The Kinesiology Diploma is a two-year, on-campus program delivered in Grande Prairie, Alberta, focused on human movement, fitness assessment, and exercise-based practice. Students study fundamental movement concepts and learn to assess fitness levels, preparing for entry-level work in coaching, personal training, or recreation programming. The diploma shares its foundational courses with the university-transfer Bachelor of Kinesiology option, so graduates can enter the workforce directly or continue into the third year of that degree. A work-integrated learning component gives students applied experience alongside classroom study. Admission is based on specific Alberta Education courses, including English Language Arts 30-1 and courses drawn from designated subject groups, with Biology 30 recommended. Graduates typically move into introductory careers in sport and recreation administration or therapeutic and rehabilitation services. The program is open to both domestic and international applicants and is currently accepting applications.
