Physical Education majors may choose a 20 credit BPhEd degree or a BPhEd (honours)/BEd degree. Within the BPhEd degree students may choose one of four streams. Core courses in these streams reflect national accreditation standards established by the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators. The Department of Physical Education has applied for accreditation by this council.

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 a Major is a minimum 60 percent major average and a 60 percent minimum overall average.

Successful graduates of the concurrent BPhEd (honours)/BEd degree will receive an honours Bachelor of Physical Education degree and a Bachelor of Education degree. As well, the concurrent BPhEd (Honours)/BEd degree core courses reflect national accreditation standards established by the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators. The Department of Physical Education has applied for accreditation by this council. 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 grades K - 6.

The BPhEd General major provides students with a broadly based understanding of the discipline. This stream allows maximum opportunity for students to pursue various combinations of courses within their particular areas of interest.

The BPhEd Disability Studies major focuses on the therapeutic and holistic benefits of physical activity. This stream allows students to gain an understanding of the application of movement analyses and programming to persons living with disabilities and chronic conditions.

The BPhEd major in Kinesiology focuses on the biophysical and social sciences in physical education. This stream aims to equip the student with a knowledge in kinesiology and the related fields of exercise prescription, motor performance, sport psychology and coaching.

The BPhEd Movement Studies major offers a combination of theoretical and practical courses in physical education. This stream allows students to apply movement knowledge in educational contexts such as teaching, coaching, programming and administration.

  3. Students should consult with the Physical Education department regarding their program requirements.
  4. Physical Education majors must take one and one-half elective credits outside the Department of Physical Education.
