The Department of Physical Education and Kinesiology offers a 20 credit BKin degree. Core courses in this degree reflect national accreditation standards established by the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators. The Department of Physical Education and Kinesiology has applied for accreditation by this council.

The requirement for graduation with a BKin (honours) is a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. The requirement for graduation with a BKin degree is a minimum 60 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent overall average.

The BKin degree is based on a science-practice model that prepares students for selected certification in the allied health professions. The curriculum emphasizes bioscience courses, the development of research skills, and the application of theoretical knowledge in laboratory settings.
