Kinesiology (MSc)

The Master of Science (MSc) in Kinesiology at Wilfrid Laurier University takes a multidisciplinary approach to examining the relationships among physical activity, health and disease across different populations. Students specialize in a sub-discipline of kinesiology, including biomechanics, health, exercise physiology, motor control, sport psychology, ethics, sport governance, or sport history, with research conducted in laboratory, clinical and applied settings depending on the area chosen. The program is full-time and normally completed in two years (six consecutive terms). Admission requires a minimum B average in the last two years of undergraduate study, and students must maintain a grade of B- or higher in all graduate courses with an overall B average to graduate. The program is delivered in person on Laurier's Waterloo campus, with a single intake in the fall (September) term.
