| 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. | This program teaches you how the human body moves and functions during exercise and physical activity, with hands-on study of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Unlike a straight kinesiology degree, the applied stream emphasizes practical work in fitness, rehabilitation, and sport settings rather than pure research. It suits students interested in careers helping athletes and active people stay healthy, whether through coaching, fitness management, or injury prevention. | Medical Sciences is a four-year undergraduate program where you study human biology, chemistry, and related sciences to prepare for health professions or medical research. Unlike a general science degree, it focuses specifically on the foundational knowledge needed for medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, or graduate health programs. The program includes optional co-op work terms, letting you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or health settings alongside your coursework. It suits students drawn to understanding how the human body works and considering careers in health care or biomedical fields. |
