What it isYou 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 how the body works during physical activity. You learn biology, nutrition, and sport science through lab work and courses. The co-op option lets you alternate school terms with paid work in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings, giving you real experience alongside your degree.Life Sciences at UTM lets you study how living systems work, from the structure of molecules to human health and evolution. You can focus on areas like molecular biology, biotechnology, human biology, or anthropology depending on your interests. The program includes optional co-op work terms that let you gain hands-on experience in labs, hospitals, or research settings alongside your coursework — useful if you're considering health professions or research careers.
