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.	Human Kinetics is the study of how the human body moves and functions, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general biology degree, it focuses specifically on physical performance, fitness, and health rather than broader biological systems. It suits students interested in exercise science, sports medicine, rehabilitation, or health-related careers who want a science-based foundation in movement and body function.	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 science of human movement and fitness combined with teaching and coaching methods. This program integrates exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport psychology with practical skills in coaching athletes and leading fitness programs. Unlike a pure kinesiology degree, this one prepares you directly for careers coaching teams or instructing fitness classes. It suits people who want to work in sports, recreation, or wellness settings and learn both the scientific reasoning and hands-on teaching side.
