It is strongly recommended that students interested in the BSc program take an additional grade 12 Math or Science like Calculus, Pre-calculus, or Chemistry. SCH4U is a prerequisite for first-year Chemistry courses.

What it is	This program teaches you how the human body moves and functions during exercise and physical activity, with hands-on study of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. Unlike a straight kinesiology degree, the applied stream emphasizes practical work in fitness, rehabilitation, and sport settings rather than pure research. It suits students interested in careers helping athletes and active people stay healthy, whether through coaching, fitness management, or injury prevention.	Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and sport from biological and physical perspectives. You'll learn anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science to understand how bodies move and respond to physical activity. The BA offers broader flexibility in electives; the BSc includes more chemistry, physics, and advanced quantitative analysis, preparing you better for research or health science pathways. It suits people interested in exercise science, athletic performance, rehabilitation, or health promotion who want science grounded in practical movement.
