Programs
Gain the professional knowledge and skills to interpret, apply and conduct health science research. Learn to assess, evaluate and design programs that can maintain and improve health, fitness and athletic performance.
Undergraduate programs
The Department of Health, Kinesiology & Applied Physiology offers a Bachelor of Science for for students interested in careers in health sciences:
- BSc Major, Exercise Science
- BSc Honours, Exercise Science
- BSc in Kinesiology and Clinical Exercise Physiology
- BSc Honours, Kinesiology and Clinical Exercise Physiology
- BSc Specialization in Athletic Therapy
- BSc Honours, Athletic Therapy
The programs offer a common core curriculum addressing the subdisciplines of human anatomy, human physiology, physiology of exercise, and biomechanics predicated on a foundation in the disciplines of biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, and psychology.
Note: students are admitted to the Major in Exercise Science.
Internships
Students who follow the Kinesiology and Clinical Exercise Physiology or Athletic Therapy have internships to give them hands-on, practical experience in a field or clinical setting.
Graduate programs
Dive into our research-focused graduate programs and probe functional mechanisms from the molecular level to whole systems. Working closely with the School of Health, our students investigate the issues we see in contemporary public health. In continuation with the strengths of our undergraduate programs, our research agenda is strong in basic mechanistic sciences to understand how the body works, in the clinical areas of injury prevention and care, and in the chronic care of certain diseases through exercise.
