What it is	Physical and Health Education teaches you how to teach fitness, sports, and wellness to others, combining exercise science with classroom instruction methods. Unlike a pure sport science degree, this program prepares you specifically for a teaching career, so you'll learn both the biology of movement and how to run a gym class or health class. It suits people who enjoy physical activity, want to work with students in schools, and are comfortable explaining fitness concepts to groups.	Public health focuses on preventing disease and promoting health across entire communities and populations, rather than treating individual patients. This program includes coursework in social policy, epidemiology, and health systems. The co-op option means you alternate between classroom semesters and paid work terms with health organizations, giving you real-world experience alongside your degree. It suits people interested in policy, community health, disease prevention, and understanding how social factors affect health outcomes.	You study how physical activity, sport, and exercise affect human health and performance, plus how to design and manage recreation and wellness programs. Unlike a pure exercise science program, this degree balances the science side with practical skills in running fitness facilities, community programs, and leisure services. It suits people who want to combine their interest in fitness and health with careers in coaching, program management, or public health promotion.
