Students will benefit from examining the world through an international scope and learning to problem-solve using the foundation of educational principles and hands-on experiences through a semester-long internship. Designed for anyone who wishes to take on the role of educator in non-traditional contexts: in non-profit, government, business, and other career sectors. Kinesiology (B.Sc.)

Kinesiology is a multidisciplinary field viewing human movement from social, historical, psychological, or biological perspectives. The program provides students with a breadth of theoretical knowledge as well as an opportunity to explore related areas in greater depth, including minor programs available elsewhere within the University. An honours program is available for particularly strong students who aspire to continue their studies at the graduate level and offers the opportunity to pursue more advanced coursework and research.
