What it is	You study how to manage sports facilities, recreation programs, and leisure services for communities and organizations. Unlike a general sports science program, this degree focuses on the business and administrative side — scheduling, budgeting, staffing, and customer experience — rather than personal fitness or athletic performance. The co-op work terms, built into the four-year degree, let you apply management skills in real sports and recreation settings while you study.	This program teaches you the science of human movement and physical activity – how bodies work during exercise, sport, and recreation. You study physiology, biomechanics, and exercise science rather than coaching or fitness training alone. The co-op option lets you combine classroom learning with paid work terms at sports organizations, hospitals, or fitness centres, giving you real experience alongside your degree.	Human Kinetics focuses on how the body moves, exercises, and stays healthy, with a specialization in teaching and coaching. You'll study exercise science, sports performance, and coaching methods, then apply them in school and community settings. This program suits people who want to combine science with hands-on work in physical education or coaching rather than pursue pure academic research in biology.
