HONOURS SPECIALIZATION KINESIOLOGY (BA) AND HONOURS BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (HBA) COMBINED DEGREE PROGRAM
This combined degree is administered by the Richard Ivey School of Business and the School of Kinesiology. The combined program is a five-year program leading to a BA in Honours Business Administration (HBA) and a BA Honours Specialization in Kinesiology. In Year 1, students complete the general first year program, including the first-year prerequisites for admission to the Honours Specialization in Kinesiology. In Year 2, they register in the normal curriculum for the Honours Specialization in Kinesiology (BA). In Year 3, students are registered in the HBA program. Students are registered in the combined program in Years 4 and 5. Admission requirements for the combined program are outlined below
Admission Requirements
Admission Requirements to Honours Specialization in Kinesiology (BA)/HBA:
To be eligible for consideration for admission to the combined program, in the first two years, students must complete a minimum of 10.0 courses including Business Administration 2257. In Year 1, they must complete the admission requirements as specified in the current Academic Calendar for entry into the Honours Specialization in Kinesiology (BA) offered by the School of Kinesiology.
Admission to the Honours Specialization in Kinesiology (BA) occurs at the end of Year 1. The requirements are:
Completion of first-year requirements with no failures. Students must complete 3.0 principal courses, including Kinesiology 1050A/B, Kinesiology 1060A/B, Kinesiology 1070A/B and Kinesiology 1080A/B and Physiology 1021 plus 2.0 additional courses at the 1000 level. Students must achieve an average of at least 70% across their principal courses, and across all courses in their first year, with no mark less than 60%. In the first two years, students must attain a minimum weighted average of 80%, a minimum mark of 70% in Business Administration 2257, and no mark less than 60%. They also must gain admission to the HBA program through the regular application process. In addition, students must attain a minimum weighted average of 78% in the first year of the HBA. Students apply for the combined degree program during the HBA 1 year, typically their third year of University.

Progression
Program Requirements Students registered in the combined program are expected to abide by all guidelines associated with each of the individual programs.
