What it isYou study how to teach physical education and health to high school students, combining education theory with the science of human movement and fitness. Unlike a standard bachelor of education, this concurrent program integrates your teaching credentials with specialized knowledge in exercise physiology and sport science from the start, so you graduate ready to teach those specific subjects. This suits people who want to coach or teach PE/health at the secondary level and prefer learning subject content alongside teaching methods rather than studying them separately.This program combines education with psychology to train you to support students with learning disabilities, behavioural challenges, or mental health needs in school settings. Unlike a general education degree, it focuses specifically on how psychological understanding applies to special education and student wellbeing. It suits people who want to teach or work in schools but are drawn to helping students facing extra barriers to learning.You study the science of human movement and fitness combined with teaching and coaching methods. This program integrates exercise physiology, biomechanics, and sport psychology with practical skills in coaching athletes and leading fitness programs. Unlike a pure kinesiology degree, this one prepares you directly for careers coaching teams or instructing fitness classes. It suits people who want to work in sports, recreation, or wellness settings and learn both the scientific reasoning and hands-on teaching side.You study the science of living systems — cells, organisms, genetics, and disease — with flexible depth depending on which specialization you choose. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms at research labs, hospitals, or biotech companies, building real experience alongside your degree. This stream suits students drawn to biology and chemistry who want either a traditional path or the chance to test careers in health and life sciences before graduating.
