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.	You study how to run and launch businesses while learning environmental science and sustainability principles. This combines business skills with ecological knowledge, so you understand both profit and environmental impact. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom and paid work terms, giving you real workplace experience in green business and sustainability roles. It suits people who want to work in business but care about environmental problems.	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.	This program teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.
