What it isHealth Sciences is a broad study of how the human body works, disease, and health systems. You'll take courses in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and public health rather than focusing on one specific medical profession. This program suits students interested in health careers — whether that's medicine, nursing, therapy, or public health — who want to explore options before specializing.You study the science of human movement and fitness combined with teaching and coaching methods. This program integrates exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport psychology with practical skills in coaching athletes and leading fitness programs. Unlike a pure kinesiology degree, this one prepares you directly for careers coaching teams or instructing fitness classes. It suits people who want to work in sports, recreation, or wellness settings and learn both the scientific reasoning and hands-on teaching side.You study how to teach physical education and health to middle and high school students, grounded in the science of human movement, exercise, and sport. Unlike a straight kinesiology degree, this program combines your science coursework with teacher training and practicums so you earn your teaching credential while you study. It suits students who want to work with teenagers in schools and have a genuine interest in both the science behind fitness and health education.
