What it is	This four-year program teaches you how to manage recreation facilities, sports programs, and leisure services. You study exercise science, human biology, and business skills needed to run gyms, community centres, sports leagues, or tourism operations. It suits people who want to work in the sports and recreation industry but prefer management and planning over personal training or athletic competition.	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.	Human Kinetics is the study of how the human body moves and functions, combined with the social science of sport, recreation, and wellness in communities. This program emphasizes the people and policy side — why communities need programs, how to manage them, and the health and social benefits they create — rather than focusing mainly on exercise science or athletic performance. It suits students interested in building careers in public health, community recreation, sport management, or wellness program development.
