The Department of Physical Education and Kinesiology offers a 20 credit BPhEd degree, BPhEd (honours)/BEd degree and a BKin degree. Within the BPhEd degree students may choose one of three streams. Core courses in these programs 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 BPhEd (honours) and Bkin (honours) degree 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 and a BKin with a Major degree 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.

The Department of Physical Education and Kinesiology 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 focusses 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 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.

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.
