Minor Kinesiology (24 credits)

Offered by: Kinesiology and Physical Ed     Degree: Bachelor of Science

Program Requirements

The Minor Kinesiology is designed to provide students in B.Sc. programs with basic but comprehensive knowledge of scientific bases of human physical activity and its relationship with health and well-being.

Students registered in the Minor Kinesiology may not take additional courses outside the Faculties of Arts and of Science.

This minor program requires an application due to limited enrolment space. Please see for procedures and deadlines.
