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.	You study psychology combined with applied health sciences — how human behaviour, biology, and social factors shape health and illness. Unlike a straight psychology program, this stream emphasizes practical health applications and the ability to work across healthcare and social systems. The co-op option lets you work in healthcare settings, clinics, or community agencies while studying. It suits students interested in both understanding the mind and applying that knowledge to real health problems.	A Bachelor of Science (General) lets you study science broadly across biology, chemistry, environmental science, and related fields, choosing your own mix of courses rather than specializing deeply in one area. Unlike an honours program, it gives you flexibility to explore multiple sciences without committing to a single major or meeting the tighter requirements of a specialized stream. This suits students who are curious about science in general but aren't yet sure which direction appeals to them most.
