Professor and Dean, Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education The multidisciplinary curriculum provides students with the skills necessary for a lifetime of learning and leadership in a rapidly-changing world. The curriculum spans the physical activity spectrum --- from inactivity through to high performance sport. Public attention has never been more attuned to what is generally acknowledged as a worldwide crisis of physical inactivity, with serious consequences for our personal health, our healthcare system, and our society as a whole. And, “sport” continues to be a platform, and sometimes a lightning rod, for social, political and economic development. The BKin degree program is designed to provide students with the foundation of knowledge and critical thinking skills to become informed participants and developing leaders in addressing such complex and important issues. Our undergraduate program is accredited in both kinesiology and physical education teacher preparation by the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators. In addition to academic theory courses, students engage in practica which provide important opportunities for applying and demonstrating the theories that are learned in the classroom; moreover, they provide an opportunity to practice what we preach about the importance of physical activity for our physical, social and psychological health and well-being. We encourage students to take advantage of professional placement opportunities made available in education, kinesiology, sports and healthcare settings. Through these placement experiences, students may apply their knowledge and skills in professional and community settings and contribute their ideas and energies to the promotion
