What it is	Educational psychology combines the study of how people learn with the science of human behaviour and thinking. You'll examine theories about memory, motivation, and development, then apply them to real classroom and learning situations. This program suits students interested in understanding why people struggle or succeed in school, and who might pursue teaching, curriculum design, counselling, or educational research.	You study how to manage sports facilities, recreation programs, and leisure services for communities and organizations. Unlike a general sports science program, this degree focuses on the business and administrative side — scheduling, budgeting, staffing, and customer experience — rather than personal fitness or athletic performance. The co-op work terms, built into the four-year degree, let you apply management skills in real sports and recreation settings while you study.	You study how to teach physical education and sports while learning the psychology behind athletic performance and mental training. This combines teacher training with sport psychology rather than preparing you only for classroom teaching or sports science research. It suits people who want to work with athletes or students in physical activity settings and are comfortable teaching in French.
