What it is	You study how to assess, care for, and support patients in hospitals, clinics, and community settings. Nursing combines biology, chemistry, and hands-on clinical training to prepare you for direct patient care and health advocacy. It suits people who want to help others through practical medical work and who can handle high-pressure situations with focus and compassion.	You study how to manage sports facilities, recreation programs, and leisure services for communities and organizations. Unlike a general sports science program, this degree focuses on the business and administrative side — scheduling, budgeting, staffing, and customer experience — rather than personal fitness or athletic performance. The co-op work terms, built into the four-year degree, let you apply management skills in real sports and recreation settings while you study.	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.
