FOUR-YEAR BSc HONORS KINESIOLOGY

Effective 2003-2004

The Bachelor of Science Honors Kinesiology program commences at second year. Students must satisfactorily complete a five-course first year program which meets University regulations and includes Kinesiology 080a/b, Kinesiology 088a/b and Physiology 020 or equivalent.

To progress to second year, students must obtain an average of at least 70% on the five full courses selected, with no grade lower than 60%. As well, students must achieve a principal course average (Kinesiology 080a/b, Kinesiology 088a/b and Physiology 020 or equivalent plus two Science courses from the list provided below) of at least 70% .

Students are advised to review the prerequisites for honors-level (200 and above) science courses to ensure appropriate first year science course selections.

First Year

Kinesiology 080a/b, Kinesiology 088a/b and Physiology 020 (or equivalent).

Two full-course equivalents from the following subjects areas: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, as indicated below:
Biology 022 or 023;
Chemistry 020 or 023;
Mathematics 030 or 031 or two of: Calculus 050a/b, 051a/b or 081a/b, or Linear Algebra 040a/b;
Physics 020, 022, 024, 025;
two of Computer Science 025a/b, 026a/b, 027a/b

One full-course equivalent from the faculties of Arts or Social Science

Second Year

For progression in the honors program each year, students must retain a principal course average of 70% and a minimum of 60% in each principal course selected. Courses selected as subsidiary courses must be passed successfully and average to 60%.

Principal Courses

A total of three and one-half or four full-course equivalent Kinesiology courses to be selected as follows:

Two half-courses from Kinesiology 202-219q/r/s/t, Dance 275a/b, 276a/b, 277a/b

Kinesiology 230a/b, 241a/b

Anatomy and Cell Biology 221

A minimum of one half-course to a maximum of two half-courses from Kinesiology 222-299.

Subsidiary Courses

One Science full-course equivalent numbered 200 and above

Notes:

For progression in the honours program each year, students must retain a principal course average of at least 70% and a minmum of 60% in each principal course selected. Courses selected as subsidiary courses must be passed and average to 60% or greater.
If only one-half course was selected from Kinesiology 222-299 then an additional subsidiary half-course must be selected from outside the School of Kinesiology.
A minimum of a half course in Statistics is a pre- or co-requisite to Kin 332a/b.

Third Year

Principal Courses

A total of three Kinesiology full-course equivalents to be selected as follows:

Two half-courses from Kinesiology 202-219q/r/s/t, 302-318q/r/s/t, Dance 275a/b, 276a/b, 277a/b

Kinesiology 330a/b

Kinesiology 337a/b

Kinesiology 343a/b or 353a/b

Kinesiology 332a/b

Subsidiary Courses

One Science full-course equivalent numbered 200 and above

One non-Kinesiology full-course equivalent

Fourth Year

Principal Courses

A total of three Kinesiology full-course equivalents.

The selection must include a minimum of one full-course equivalent, not previously completed, from Kinesiology 343a/b, 353a/b, 433a/b, 440y, 430a/b, 432a/b or 443.

Subsidiary Courses

Two full-course equivalents to be selected as follows:

One Science full-course equivalent numbered 200 and above

The remaining full-course equivalent may be selected from Kinesiology 202-219q/r/s/t, 302-318q/r/s/t, Dance 275a/b, 276a/b, 277a/b (if not selected as a principal course) and/or from courses offered by other faculties

Note: prior to graduation, students must complete one half-course in Statistics plus two half-courses from any of the following Kinesiology subjects: Kinesiology 250a/b, 263f/g, 290f/g, 293f/g, 298a/b, 358a/b, 362f/g, 363f/g, 378f/g, 388a/b, 390f/g, 398a/b, 399a/b, 409a/b, 459a/b, 460a/b, 468a/b, 488a/b, 493a/b, 498a/b, Dance 270a/b, 371a/b, 372a/b

Bachelor of Science Honors Kinesiology students who are either ineligible to progress or elect to graduate with a three year BA program may need to complete additional courses to meet University graduation regulations. Refer to Graduation Requirements in the Academic portion of the calendar.
