Bachelor of Kinesiology and Bachelor of Science Programs

1. Attainment of at least a 2.00 grade point average over the entire program, as outlined below.

2. Attainment of at least a 2.00 grade point average in all Faculty of Kinesiology courses.

3. No more than the equivalent of two full course "D" or "D+" grades in core course requirements.

4. No more than the equivalent of four full course "D" or "D+" grades throughout the entire program.

5. No "F" grades will be acceptable towards the BKin or BSc degree. A course normally may be repeated only once.

Kinesiology Core Courses

Within the 20 full-course Bachelor of Kinesiology or Bachelor of Science degree, all students must complete the following core courses (7.5 full-course equivalents).

1. Kinesiology 201
Kinesiology 203

2. Kinesiology 211
Kinesiology 213

3. Kinesiology 243
Kinesiology 245

4. Kinesiology 251

Students are expected to register for a selected number of 200-level requirements (chosen from Biology 231, Kinesiology 201, 203, 211, 213, 243, 245, 251, 253, 261, or 263) in Year 1, as well as some of the 200-level requirements for their chosen major. Since this entails more than five full-course equivalents, students are expected to complete these 200-level courses over several years and will be able to tailor their registrations to suit individual circumstances.

All students must complete at least five full-course equivalents from outside the Faculty of Kinesiology, including at least two full-course equivalents at the Senior level.

In addition to the core, each major requires the specific courses outlined below.

Additional Requirements for Bachelor of Science Programs

To meet BSc degree requirements, at least 21 half-course science equivalents must be completed. These include all courses offered by the Faculty of Science, courses listed by the Faculty of Science as acceptable components in their BSc programs (see Faculty of Science - Faculty Regulations - Programs with a Major Field), Area III courses (see Faculty of Social Sciences - Area Table), and the following Kinesiology courses: 237, 251, 261, 263, 351, 353, 355, 363, 367, 371, 375, 381, 393, 395, 433, 437, 451, 463, 465, 466, 469, 473, 475, 479, 485, 490, 493, and 495.

Admission

Applicants to the Athletic Therapy Major will enter the program at the third year level after successful completion of listed prerequisites, and selection using quantitative criteria. Admission to the major is limited to ten students each year. Applicants from outside Kinesiology must also meet the admission criteria for admission to the Faculty.

2. A minimum GPA of 3.00 over the most recent course work to a maximum of five full-course equivalents (六九色堂 courses and/or transferable courses taken at other institutions). All grades within a session will be included except where the number of courses taken within a session exceeds that required to fulfill (to a maximum of) five full-course equivalents, in which case the highest grades will be used.

3. Successful completion of the following required courses, or equivalents:

(a) Kinesiology 261 with a minimum grade of "C+"

(b) Zoology 361 and 363 with a minimum grade of "C"

Introduction

The Faculty of Kinesiology with the Haskayne School of Business offers a five-year combined Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Kinesiology (General) degree program. The program requires careful selection of courses to complete all requirements of the two Faculties. Interested students are urged to contact the Student Programs Office of Kinesiology and the Assistant Dean (Undergraduate) of the Haskayne School of Business for advice in choosing their first-year courses.

Admission

Applicants to the BComm/BKin program must satisfy the admission requirements of both Faculties and will normally first enter the Faculty of Kinesiology. Admission to Kinesiology will be based on the admission requirements previously outlined. At the end of the second year of studies, students should apply to the Haskayne School of Business, to pursue the combined degree program. At the point of admission to the combined degree program, students will be administered by the Haskayne School of Business, which is a quota restricted faculty. Therefore, admission and program requirements for the BComm program also apply to students pursuing the combined degree program.

Requirements

Detailed program requirements are listed in the Haskayne School of Business section of this Calendar.

Once accepted to the combined program, students may elect to remain in it or switch to either of the two separate degree programs, as long as the requirements of each Faculty continue to be met. Failure to meet requirements will result in a student being required to withdraw from the combined or separate programs.

Students must satisfy the graduation requirements of both Faculties. Program details are listed in the Haskayne School of Business section of this Calendar.

Introduction

The Faculty of Kinesiology with the Faculty of Nursing offers a five-year combined Bachelor of Kinesiology (General)/Bachelor of Nursing degree program. The program requires careful selection of courses to complete all requirements of the two Faculties. Interested students are urged to contact the Student Programs Office in Kinesiology and the Student Affairs Office in Nursing for advice in choosing their first-year courses.

Admission

At the point of admission to the combined degree program, students will be administered by the Faculty of Nursing. Therefore, entrants into the combined program must meet the transfer admission criteria that apply to the Bachelor of Nursing Regular Track program.

Requirements

Once accepted to the combined program, students may elect to remain in it or switch to either of the two separate degree programs, as long as the requirements of each Faculty continue to be met. Failure to meet requirements will result in a student being required to withdraw from the combined or separate programs.

Students must satisfy the graduation requirements of both Faculties. Program details are listed in the Faculty of Nursing section of this Calendar.

Regulations

Once accepted into the combined degree program, students have three years to commence the Faculty of Education component of the program. Students not registering for the Faculty of Education component within that time will be considered to have left the combined degree program and will be considered as Bachelor of Kinesiology students.
