What it is	Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Health Studies (BSc(Kin)) You study how the human body moves and functions, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science with health topics. This is more focused on the science of physical activity and wellness than on running sports organizations. It suits people interested in fitness, rehabilitation, athletic training, or health careers who want a science-based foundation. Bachelor of Sport Management and Leadership (BSM) You learn to manage sports organizations, teams, and facilities, mixing business skills like finance and marketing with sports-specific leadership. This differs from kinesiology because you focus on the business and organizational side rather than the body's mechanics. It fits people who want careers running sports programs, managing facilities, or leading sports-related businesses.	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.	You study the structure and function of living organisms, from cells and molecules to whole organisms and ecosystems. The BA and BSc differ mainly in depth: the BSc requires more chemistry and physics alongside biology, preparing you for research or graduate study, while the BA offers more flexibility to combine biology with other subjects. The co-op option lets you work in labs, hospitals, or biotech companies between study terms. This program suits students curious about how life works who want hands-on experience before deciding on a career direction.	You study the science of living things — from individual cells and genes to entire ecosystems and animal behaviour. The Environmental Science degree focuses on how organisms interact with their environment, while other options let you specialize in animal biology, plants, genetics, or microbiology. This program suits people curious about how life works and interested in careers ranging from conservation and wildlife management to research, teaching, or health sciences.
