What it is	You study how physical activity, sport, and exercise affect human health and performance, plus how to design and manage recreation and wellness programs. Unlike a pure exercise science program, this degree balances the science side with practical skills in running fitness facilities, community programs, and leisure services. It suits people who want to combine their interest in fitness and health with careers in coaching, program management, or public health promotion.	Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement, exercise, and how the body works during physical activity. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science through lab work and practical classes. This program suits students interested in sport science, fitness, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want a science-based foundation rather than coaching or athletic training alone.	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.
