Help an Olympic hopeful recover from a torn ligament. Prevent workplace injuries by improving a company's ergonomic standards. Give a child with cerebral palsy a better quality of life. Learn to prevent and treat movement-related illness and injury - and if you opt for the co-op stream, you can get 20 months of paid career experience along the way. In addition to traditional science courses in biomechanics, neuroscience, and physiology, you'll have four kinesiology-related minors and dozens of campus-wide minors to choose from. You can also include courses to prepare you for professional health programs such as medicine and physiotherapy.
