Program Requirements
The McGill Bachelor of Science (Kinesiology) program received accreditation from the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators (CCUPEKA) in April 2007.
The B.Sc.(Kinesiology) is a 90-credit program. Students who have not completed Quebec CEGEP, French Baccalaureate, International Baccalaureate, or at least one year of university studies are normally enrolled in a four-year B.Sc.(Kinesiology) program, which includes a 30-credit Freshman year for a total of 120 credits.
The focus of the Kinesiology program is a comprehensive understanding of human movement. Kinesiology is a multidisciplinary field viewing human movement from social, historical, psychological, or biological perspectives. The program provides students with a breadth of theoretical knowledge as well as an opportunity to explore related areas in greater depth, including minor programs available elsewhere within the University.
Students are encouraged to select a minor program in a given discipline or interdisciplinary area. A maximum of 6 credits of overlap is allowed between the Minor and the primary program. A minimum of 18 new credits must be completed in the Minor or Minor concentration. Science minors require from 18-24 credits. Arts Minor concentrations and Management Minors generally require 18 credits. For approved minors and minor concentrations, refer to the programs offered by the Faculty of Arts, the Desautels Faculty of Management, and the Faculty of Science.
An Honours program is available for particularly strong students. To qualify for the Honours program, students must obtain a CGPA of 3.3 after two years in Kinesiology and must retain this CGPA until graduation.
Graduation Requirement:
Prior to graduation, students are required to show proof of certification in Standard Level Safety Oriented First Aid/Level C in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, or equivalencies.
Freshman Program
29 - 30 credits of basic science courses depending on the Fall term MATH course selected.
Students admitted from CEGEP or with other advanced standing should have equivalencies for these courses to be exempt from Freshman Program requirements.
