Kinesiology focuses on human movement and optimizing performance and quality of life. Three specializations are offered: Exercise Science: Students will focus on exercise physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience and exercise rehabilitation. Health and Wellness: Students will study the psychosocial aspects of kinesiology, particularly areas such as health promotion, health policy and coaching. Rehabilitation: An agreement between the university and the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, located in Toronto, Ontario, enables qualified students to complete a Bachelor of Health Science (Honours) degree with a major in Kinesiology, and a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree in seven years instead of eight.

Current Ontario secondary school students must complete the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M credits including English (ENG4U) with a minimum grade of 60 per cent, Biology (SBI4U), and one of Advanced Functions (MHF4U) or Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or Mathematics of Data Management (MDM4U). It is recommended that students applying to the Kinesiology major Exercise Science option also take Chemistry (SCH4U). Note: Admission is competitive. The specific average or standing required for admission varies from year to year. Students are selected by taking into consideration a wide range of criteria including school marks, distribution of subjects taken, and performance in subjects relevant to the academic program. Possession of the minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. Preference will be given to applicants with the best qualifications.
