KINESIOLOGY: PROGRAMS OF STUDY


Bachelor of Human Kinetics (Honours Kinesiology) Movement Science Major
Bachelor of Human Kinetics (Honours Kinesiology) Leisure and Sport Management Major
Co-Operative Education Program in Kinesiology

Human Kinetics "Core" Courses


The emphasis in the Bachelor of Human Kinetics degree is on providing students with an understanding of human physical activity in its broadest sense, rather than upon the details of professional practice and teaching methodologies.

A Bachelor of Human Kinetics degree may be earned either through a regular, eight-term program of study, or through the twelve-term Co-operative Education Program, which combines classroom and related work term experiences. In both programs, students follow a common core of Kinesiology and other courses and then specialize in one of two honours Majors: Movement Science or Leisure and Sport Management.

Areas of Study

Requirements for degree programs in Kinesiology make reference to the following groups of courses:

Bachelor of Human Kinetics "Core" Courses: 95-210, 95-211, 95-220, 95-230, 95-240, 95-250, 95-260, 95-265, 95-269, 95-270, 95-280, and 95-285.

Movement Science Major Courses: 95-301, 95-302, 95-310, 95-333, 95-360, 95-362, 95-370, 95-374, 95-380, 95-400, 95-410, 95-453, 95-460, 95-465, 95-471, and 95-480.

Leisure and Sport Management Major Courses: 95-311, 95-320, 95-340, 95-345, 95-350, 95-351, 95-355, 95-405, 95-440, 95-450, 95-451, 95-452, 95-454, 95-473, 95-476, and 95-498.

Practice, Theory, and Analysis Courses: 95-381 through 95-398.

Any remaining courses numbered 95- not included in the groups above are available to students in any Kinesiology major, subject to individual course requirements.

Upon completion of the Human Kinetics "Core" requirements, students will select a major from Movement Science or Leisure and Sport Management. This selection must be done through the Office of the Registrar prior to registration for the fifth semester , or at the end of the fourth semester.

Kinesiology courses at the 300 and 400 levels are restricted to students who have declared their major in either Movement Science or Leisure and Sport Management. Students from other Faculties(3rd year or above) may take these courses with permission of instructor.

The usual sequence of "Core" courses through the first four academic semesters is:

FIRST YEAR

95-210, 95-211, 95-230, 95-240, 95-265, and 95-280, and four non-Kinesiology options, at least one of which should be a Science.

SECOND YEAR

95-220, 95-250, 95-260, 95-269, 95-270, 95-285, and four non-Kinesiology options, at least one of which should be a Science.
Bachelor of Human Kinetics (Honours Kinesiology) Movement Science Major

Students selecting this major will be interested in entering the general field of science as it relates to human activity as teachers, exercise consultants, sport therapists, athletic trainers, ergonomic specialists in the biomechanics of movement, and human performance specialists in motor development and memory. This program is recognized by the Ontario Kinesiology Association. Those interested in graduate studies in Movement Science should select this major. Graduates are also qualified to enter a Faculty of Education.

Total courses: forty.

Major requirements: twenty courses, consisting of the Human Kinetics "Core" and eight non-Kinesiology options, at least two of which must be Sciences. In addition, twelve Movement Science Major courses are required. Eight more courses are to be chosen as follow:
(a) four courses from Science, Engineering, Nursing, or Psychology;
(b) four courses from Science, Engineering, Psychology, Nursing, or Human Kinetics (95-).

Of the eight courses in (a) and (b) above, at least six must be at the 200 level or above, and only one of Psychology 46-223, 46-224, 46-225, or 46-323 is permitted.

Bachelor of Human Kinetics (Honours Kinesiology) Leisure and Sport Management Major

Students completing this major will be interested in examining leisure from a social science perspective and/or preparing for employment opportunities related to the administration of leisure, sport and physical activity programs. Graduates typically assume positions with government agencies, municipal recreation, units, public and private recreation units, public and private recreation centres, and amateur or professional sports organizations. Graduates also are prepared to enter graduate school or a faculty of education.

Total courses: forty.

Major requirements: twenty courses, consisting of the Human Kinetics "Core", and eight non-Kinesiology options. In addition, twelve additional Leisure and Sport Management Major courses are required. Eight more courses are to be chosen as follow:
(a) four courses from any area of study, including Human Kinetics (95-);
(b) four courses from any area of study, excluding Human Kinetics (95-).

Of the eight courses in (a) and (b) above, at least six must be at the 200 level or above,

Co-Operative Education Program in Kinesiology

The Co-operative Education Program is designed for highly motivated students who wish to develop their skills, increase their knowledge, and gain career-related experience. Students must first be admitted to Kinesiology and are eligible to apply then for the twenty-five available co-op openings in the Fall of their first term of study.

The following criteria have been established to evaluate such applications:

1) academic achievement based on fall term marks
2) previous volunteer and paid work experience
3) an application form and resume
4) an interview with the student

Admission decisions will be made in the Winter term of the student’s first year of study.

Co-operative Program students must complete the course requirements for one of the two Kinesiology majors and also register during their work terms in courses 95-299, 95-399, and 95-499 successively. Each work term will be graded on a Pass/Fail basis as the result of a work experience and the work term report which is submitted to and graded by a Faculty member.

A Co-operative Program fee is charged in each term beginning with the Winter term of Year 2. The fee is not a job-placement fee, but is levied to help defer the administrative costs associated with the program.

WORK/STUDY SEQUENCE

Option One

FIRST YEAR
Fall Term: Study term.
Winter Term: Study term.
Summer Term: Off

SECOND YEAR
Fall Term: Study term.
Winter Term: Work term.
Summer Term: Study term.

THIRD YEAR
Fall Term: Work experience.
Winter Term: Study term.
Summer Term: Work term or optional term.*

FOURTH YEAR
Fall Term: Study term.
Winter Term: Study term.
Summer Term: Work term or optional term.*

FIFTH YEAR

*The requirement of a third work term may be fulfilled in the Summer of either the third or fourth year.

Option Two: Fast-Track

Students wishing to complete their co-op degree in Kinesiology may do so in four years. This requires careful planning and scheduling. Students wishing to "fast-track" through their co-op degree are advised to meet with the faculty contact for co-op in Human Kinetics to discuss a strategy.
