It is strongly recommended that students interested in the BSc program take an additional grade 12 Math or Science like Calculus, Pre-calculus, or Chemistry. SCH4U is a prerequisite for first-year Chemistry courses.

What it is	This program covers the science of how the human body works and how health systems use technology and data. Unlike a pre-med program, it does not guarantee entry into medical school and instead prepares you for careers in health research, data analysis, or public health. It suits students who are strong in science and math but want flexibility to explore health fields beyond clinical practice.	Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and the body's response to physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, nutrition, and psychology to understand how muscles, bones, and organs work during exercise and sport. This program suits people interested in fitness science, rehabilitation, sports performance, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation before pursuing careers like personal training, physiotherapy, or exercise coaching.	Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and sport from biological and physical perspectives. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science to understand how bodies move and respond to physical activity. The BA offers broader flexibility in electives; the BSc includes more chemistry, physics, and advanced quantitative analysis, preparing you better for research or health science pathways. It suits people interested in exercise science, athletic performance, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want science grounded in practical movement.
