The academic foundation of the discipline of kinesiology is multifactorial and is anchored in the acquisition of knowledge about the human body as it functions at the level of cells, organs and systems. Based on their undergraduate degree objective (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science), kinesiology students must complete a series of required courses that establish the basic foundation of academic knowledge in the discipline. Students then select elective courses based on their personal interest and professional goals. To determine which undergraduate degree option (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science) best fits your personal and professional goals, please visit Academic Programs.
