What you study	Psychology	Psychology Sport & Exercise Science	Hospitality, Recreation and Leisure Human Biology Sport & Exercise Science
What it is	You study human behaviour, thinking, and emotion from scientific and practical angles. A four-year honours degree goes deeper than a three-year general degree, with more advanced courses and often a research component. This program suits people curious about why people act and think the way they do, and who want to understand psychology well enough for graduate study or specialized careers in mental health, research, or counselling.	You study both how to teach junior and intermediate students and how psychology applies to sport and athletic performance. This concurrent program lets you earn your teaching credential while specializing in sport psychology rather than completing a general teacher education route. It suits people who want to teach physical education or health class and understand the mental side of athletic development.	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.
