The Department of Physical Education and 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 Primary/Junior degrees. It also offers a 20-credit Bachelor of Kinesiology (BKin) degree and a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (BSc(Kin)) degree.
New applications to the BPhEd, BKin or BSc (Kin) programs 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 Concurrent BPhEd (Honours)/BEd programs combine the BPhEd Honours program with the teacher education program for students interested in teaching either Primary/Junior (grades K-6) or Intermediate/Senior (grades 7-12). Refer to the Education - Concurrent BPhEd (Honours)/BEd (Intermediate/Senior) and the Education- Concurrent BPhEd (Honours)/BEd (Primary/Junior) Program listings for additional information.
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 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. This degree is accredited through the Canadian Council of Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators.
The BSc (Kin) degree focusses 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.
Requirement for graduation with a BPhEd (Honours) BKin (Honours) or BSc (Kin) (Honours) degree is a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average. Requirement for graduation with a BPhEd with a Major, a BKin or BSc (Kin) with a major degree is a minimum 60 percent major average and a 60 percent minimum overall average.
