May it be stimulating, enjoyable and rewarding. The Faculty of Physical Education and Health offers three degree programs (B.P.H.E., M.Sc., and Ph.D.) for those who wish to pursue the study of physical activity and health. We offer a strong interdisciplinary curriculum. We explore all the major knowledge bases for understanding physical activity and health, from the behavioural and biophysical sciences to the social sciences and humanities. We encourage all students to engage in research. In the undergraduate degree program, we integrate the academic course work with physical learning and doing (running, swimming, dancing, etc.) to achieve education for the whole person. We encourage all students to engage in formal internships in education and health, so that they can learn to apply their knowledge and skills in professional and community settings, and contribute their ideas and energies to the revitalization of opportunities for healthy physical activity in Canada and around the world. We face a worldwide crisis in physical inactivity, with serious consequences for personal and community health and well- being. We have designed the B.P.H.E. degree program so that students and graduates can be part of the solution. The curriculum has been accredited in both Kinesiology and Teacher Preparation by the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators. We are very proud of our programs and facilities. All courses are taught by accomplished scholars and scientists, and students have access to the unrivaled resources of the entire University of Toronto. We draw upon more than a century of U of T leadership and achievement in physical education, health, athletics and recreation. We are confident that our curriculum will help you prepare for careers in these fields.
