What you study	Psychology	Hospitality, Recreation and Leisure Human Biology Sport & Exercise Science	Hospitality, Recreation and Leisure Human Biology Sport & Exercise Science
What it is	You study how the human mind works and how the brain produces behaviour, emotion, and thought. This program combines psychology — the study of behaviour and mental processes — with neuroscience, which looks at the brain's biology and chemistry. It suits people curious about why people think and act as they do, and who want to understand the physical basis of the mind.	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.	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.
