The Department of Physical Education and Kinesiology offers a 20 credit Bachelor of Physical Education (BPhEd) degree, and Concurrent five-year programs combining Bachelor of Physical Education/Bachelor of Education (BPhEd (Honours)/BEd) Intermediate/Senior and BPhEd (Honours)/BEd Primary/Junior degrees. These degrees are accredited through the Canadian Council of Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators.

The requirement for graduation with a BPhEd (Honours) is a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. The requirement for graduation with a BPhEd with Major is a minimum 60 percent major average and a 60 percent minimum overall average.

New applications to the BPhEd program are accepted in years 2 and 3. Application forms are available in the Physical Education and Kinesiology office from April 1. Forms must be completed and returned to the office by June 1. These are limited enrolment programs. Admission is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirements.

The BPhEd degree provides students with a broadly based understanding of the discipline through theoretical and practical courses in physical education. This program allows maximum opportunity for students to pursue various combinations of courses in teaching, coaching, programming and administration, and within their particular areas of interest (see Physical Educations Subfields). This degree is accredited through the Canadian Council of Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators.
