3.10.1 PROGRAMS OF STUDY
The emphasis in the Bachelor of Human Kinetics degree is providng 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
Honours programs only are available in Movement Science and in Leisure
and Sport Management. The completion of the Bachelor of Human Kinetics
"Core" is required in both programs.
BACHELOR OF HUMAN KINETICS "CORE" (TWENTY COURSES)
Major requirements: eleven courses, consisting of 95-170, 95-210,
95-211, 95-220, 95-230, 95-240, 95-250, 95-260, 95-270, 95-280, and 95-285.
Other requirements (see 2.5.14 for subject areas):
(a) 55-202;
(b) 60-104;
(c) two options from any of Arts, Languages, Social Science, Business
or Law (Students considering a major in Leisure and Sport Management should
seek permission from Business to take 71-140.);
(d) two options from Science or Engineering;
(e) three options from any area of study in the University.
Except for Science courses offered specifically for students in the
biological or health sciences, no course offered in another area of study
which is not available for credit towards a major in its own programs may
be taken for credit as an option in a Kinesiology program.
As courses in computer uses and concepts, statistics, and research
methods are required Kinesiology courses, credit as options will not be
allowed for similar courses offered in other areas.
The usual sequence of "core" courses through the first four academic
terms is:
LEVEL 1
Fall Term: 55-202, 60-104 (or one other course), 95-210, 95-211,
and 95-240.
Winter Term: 60-104 (or one other course), 95-230, 95-280, 95-285,
and one option.
LEVEL 2
Fall Term: 95-170, 95-220, 95-260, and two options.
Winter Term: 95-250, 95-270, and three options.
Upon completion of the "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 term, or at the end of Level 2.
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.
Requirements for degree programs in Kinesiology make reference to the
following groups of courses:
MOVEMENT SCIENCE MAJOR COURSES

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.
HONOURS MOVEMENT SCIENCE
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.
Honours Movement Science students must first fulfill the requirements
of the twenty-course Kinesiology "core." The remaining twenty courses must
fulfill the following additional requirements:
Major requirements: twelve Movement Science Major courses;
Other requirements: eight courses subject to the following restrictions:
(a) at least six of the eight further courses must be at the 200 level
or above;
(b) a maximum of four courses may be chosen from the remaining Movement
Science Major courses, or from Leisure and Sport Management Major courses,
Practice, Theory, and Analysis, and/or other Kinesiology (95-) courses.
(c) non-Kinesiology options must be chosen from areas of study in Science,
Engineering, or Psychology. (Students may take only one of Psychology 46-223,
46-224, 46-225, or 46-323.)
HONOURS LEISURE AND SPORT
MANAGEMENT
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.
Honours Leisure and Sport Management students must first fulfill the
requirements of the twenty-course Kinesiology "core." The remaining twenty
courses must fulfill the following additional requirements:
Major requirements: twelve Leisure and Sport Management Major courses;
Other requirements: eight courses subject to the following restrictions:

or above;
(b) a maximum of four courses may be chosen from the remaining Leisure
and Sport Management Major courses, or from Movement Science Major courses,
Practice, Theory, and Analysis, and/or other Kinesiology (95-) courses.
(c) non-Kinesiology options must be chosen from any area of study.
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 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 upon OAC grades and Fall term marks;
2) previous volunteer and paid work experience;
3) a letter from the student outlining the student's motivation for
applying to the Program;
4) two letters of reference;
5) 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
experience terms in courses 95-299, 95-399, and 95-499 successively. Each
work term will be graded on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis as the
result of a work experience and the work term report which is submitted
to and judged by the Co-operative Program Co-ordinator.
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.
The work/study sequence is as follows:
YEAR 1
Fall Term: Study term.
Winter Term: Study term.
Summer Term: Off
YEAR 2
Fall Term: Study term.
Winter Term: Work experience.
Summer Term: Study term.
