What it is	Kinesiology is the study of human movement, exercise, and sport from scientific and practical angles. You'll learn how the body works during physical activity, the psychology of sport, and how to apply that knowledge in fitness, rehabilitation, or athletic settings. This program includes co-op work terms, so you'll get real workplace experience alongside your classroom learning.	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.	You study how the human body works during physical activity and exercise, with a focus on practical fitness coaching and health education. Unlike a straight kinesiology degree, this program combines your bachelor's degree with a separate diploma in fitness promotion, giving you both theoretical science knowledge and hands-on certifications suited to personal training and community health roles. It suits people who want a science-based foundation but also want direct, applied skills they can use right after graduation.
