What it is	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.	You study how to teach physical education and health to elementary and junior high students, combining exercise science with teacher training in one four-year degree. Unlike a general education degree, this program embeds sport and fitness knowledge directly into your teaching preparation, so you graduate ready to teach PE specifically. It suits students who want to teach, enjoy movement and health topics, and prefer a focused path over choosing between separate degrees.	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 the science of living systems — cells, organisms, genetics, and disease — with flexible depth depending on which specialization you choose. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, building real experience alongside your degree. This stream suits students drawn to biology and chemistry who want either a traditional path or the chance to test careers in health and life sciences before graduating.
