| 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. | Health Sciences is a broad program where you study how human health works, from biology and chemistry to technology and data systems used in medicine and healthcare. It's wider than a specialized nursing or medical lab program because you explore multiple health-related fields rather than training for one specific healthcare job. It suits students curious about science and health who want options to specialize later or move toward healthcare careers beyond direct patient care. | Social Sciences I is a first-year entry point where you explore human behaviour, society, and social systems through subjects like economics, sociology, anthropology, politics, and social work. Unlike a specialized program, you sample multiple disciplines before declaring a focus, letting you discover which area — from international development to health policy — matches your interests. It suits students curious about how societies work and drawn to understanding people and social issues from different angles. |
