What it is	You study how the human body moves and functions during physical activity and exercise. This combines biology, anatomy, and sports science to understand muscles, joints, and fitness rather than just coaching or athletic training. The program includes a co-op work term, giving you practical experience in settings like rehabilitation clinics, fitness facilities, or sports medicine. This suits people interested in exercise science, health, or athletic performance who want both classroom learning and hands-on experience.	Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and sport from biological and physiological angles. You learn how the body works during physical activity, nutrition science, and injury prevention. The co-op option lets you earn work experience in fitness facilities, sports medicine, or health organizations while completing your degree, which suits students who want practical experience alongside classroom learning.	Human Kinetics is the study of how the human body moves and functions, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general biology degree, it focuses specifically on physical performance, fitness, and health rather than broader biological systems. It suits students interested in exercise science, sports medicine, rehabilitation, or health-related careers who want a science-based foundation in movement and body function.
