| What it is | You study how the mind affects athletic performance and physical activity — combining sports science with psychology. You learn about motivation, stress, focus, and how athletes' thoughts and emotions influence training and competition. This differs from a straight psychology degree because the focus stays on sports and exercise contexts rather than broader mental health or clinical applications. | This program teaches you how the human body moves and functions during exercise, sport, and daily activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Unlike a general health science degree, kinesiology focuses specifically on physical movement and performance. The co-op option lets you work for employers in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings while completing your degree, suiting students who want practical experience alongside classroom learning. | You study how the human body moves and functions during physical activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general kinesiology program, this applied stream emphasizes practical skills you can use directly in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings. It suits students who want a science degree but prefer hands-on learning over pure theory, especially if you want work experience built into your studies through the co-op option. |
