The Bachelor of Kinesiology degree provides both breadth and depth of knowledge in understanding the field of kinesiology, and prepares students to pursue a variety of careers. In particular, the Exercise Science specialization prepares students for registration as a practicing Kinesiologist, graduate school, and/or professional school (such as physiotherapy, medicine or chiropractics). The Pedagogy specialization prepares students for entrance into a teacher certification program, graduate school, and careers as a coach or personal trainer.
In the Kinesiology program, students go well beyond the questions of how and why we move, and start to explore how we can optimize the human potential for motor skill performance. In first and second year, learn about topics such as human anatomy, sport psychology, biomechanics, and physical activity. Students explore a variety of fields that may be of interest before choosing to specialize in exercise science or pedagogy.
In third and fourth year, students develop skills for counselling athletes and learn about athletic injuries and physiology. They also select a specialty out of the following options:
The exercise science option prepares students for registration as a kinesiologist, graduate school, and/or professional school (such as physiotherapy, medicine or chiropractic).
The pedagogy option prepares students for continued certification in teacher education, coaching, personal training, and/or graduate school.
The core course requirements are the same for both paths. However, exercise science is geared towards biology and research methods, whereas pedagogy involves learning how to educate others about health and movement.
