The Department of Kinesiology offers a 20-credit Bachelor of Physical Education (BPhEd) degree and five-year Concurrent Bachelor of Physical Education (Honours)/Bachelor of Education (BPhEd (Honours)/BEd) Intermediate/Senior, and BPhEd (Honours)/BEd Junior/Intermediate degrees. It also offers a 20-credit Bachelor of Kinesiology (BKin) degree and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (BSc(Kin)) degree.

Requirement for graduation with a BPhEd (Honours), BKin (Honours) or BSc (Kin) (Honours) degree is a minimum 70 percent major average, a minimum 60 percent non-major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average. Requirement for graduation with a BPhEd With Major, a BKin or BSc (Kin) With Major degree is a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

New applications to the BPhEd, BKin or BSc (Kin) programs are accepted in years 2 and 3. Application forms must be completed and returned to the office by May 15. These are limited enrolment programs. Admission is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirements.

Successful graduates of the Concurrent BPhEd (Honours)/BEd degree will receive an Honours Bachelor of Physical Education degree and a Bachelor of Education degree. The Dean of the Faculty of Education may recommend that the Ontario College of Teachers grant an Ontario Certificate of Qualification certifying them to teach either Junior/Intermediate (grades 4-10) or Intermediate/Senior (grades 7-12).

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 Education Subfields). This degree is accredited through the Canadian Council of Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators.

The BKin degree focuses on the biophysical, behavioural and socio-cultural aspects of kinesiology and is based on a science-practice model that prepares students for selected certification in the allied health professions emphasizing bioscience courses, the development of research skills and the application of theoretical knowledge in laboratory settings.

The BSc (Kin) degree focuses on the biophysical aspects of kinesiology and prepares students for careers in various health professions. This bioscience degree is designed for the student who wishes to concentrate on the science of human movement and prepares students to meet the requirements for postgraduate degree programs in biophysical kinesiology and the allied health professions.
