| 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. | You study how the human body moves and functions during physical activity, combining anatomy, physiology, and exercise science. Unlike a general kinesiology program, this applied stream emphasizes practical skills you can use directly in fitness, rehabilitation, or sports settings. It suits students who want a science degree but prefer hands-on learning over pure theory, especially if you want work experience built into your studies through the co-op option. | 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. |
