General information

Students can study through the Kinesiology major, or choose tospecialize in either , , or

.Exercise Science Health and Wellness

Rehabilitation

The Kinesiology major provides a focused set of options directedtoward understanding human movement and the role and applicationof exercise for rehabilitation and health improvement. Kinesiologystudents learn to prescribe individualized exercise programs toimprove or maintain the health, functional capacity and global well-being of a range of clinical populations. The physiological responseto exercise is compromised by various disease processes and/ortheir associated medications and therefore, an exercise prescriptionmust account for this to ensure the efficacy of the program, as well asthe safety of the individual. In fourth year, elective opportunities existwhereby students can pursue either a Kinesiology or Athletic Therapyinternship to increase their experience in the field. Kinesiologyinternships in the past have included placements in fitness facilities,schools, cardiac rehabilitation programs, programs for children withspecial needs, physiotherapy and chiropractic clinics. The AthleticTherapy internship involves placement as a student therapist with avarsity athletic team and students become certified as AdvancedMedical First Responders.

Kinesiology graduates will be prepared to assume positions inkinesiology both in the health care system and in private practice.Graduates of the Kinesiology major will have covered the corecompetencies required by the College of Kinesiologists of Ontario butthose interested in pursuing professional registration will generallyrequire additional practical experience before writing the registrationexams. Students will also be eligible to apply for admission to severalprofessional postgraduate programs in physical therapy,occupational therapy, and chiropractic, as well as academicpostgraduate programs. Those interested in medicine are advised tocheck the requirements of individual medical schools to ensure thatthey have taken any required courses that are not part of theKinesiology program map.

In order to be eligible to participate in required laboratory courses inthe Kinesiology major, students must meet specific requirements forsafe practice in the lab setting. Students will be required to showproof of current basic first aid and CPR certification prior to thebeginning of each academic year, starting in second year.Certification presented must be valid for at least the full length of theacademic year.

Admission requirements

Admission is competitive. The specific average or standing requiredfor admission varies from year to year. Students are selected bytaking into consideration a wide range of criteria including schoolmarks, distribution of subjects taken, and performance in subjectsrelevant to the academic program. Possession of the minimumrequirements does not guarantee acceptance. Preference will begiven to applicants with the best qualifications.

Current Ontario secondary school students must complete theOntario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) with six 4U or 4M creditsincluding English (ENG4U) with a minimum grade of 60 per cent,Biology (SBI4U), and one of Advanced Functions (MHF4U) orCalculus and Vectors (MCV4U) or Mathematics of Data Management(MDM4U). It is recommended for students applying to the Kinesiologymajor: Exercise Science option, that Chemistry (SCH4U) is also taken.All other applicants should refer to for the requirementsfor their specific category of admission.
