Master of Human Kinetics

The Master’s of Human Kinetics (MHK) is a two-year graduate degree program requiring the completion of 24 credits involving either a Thesis or Major Paper option. The Thesis option involves 12 credits of course-work and 12 credits involving the completion of a thesis based on an in-depth investigation of a topic related to human kinetics. The Major Paper option involves 18 credits of course-work and 6 credits involving the completion of a paper related to the detailed analysis and synthesis of a human kinetics topic.

The admission requirements are the same for both the Thesis Option and the Major Paper Option. To be admitted, students should hold an appropriate Bachelor's degree at the honours level, or its equivalent, with at least a B+ (75%).

Students entering the Masters in Human Kinetics (MHK) program will hold a 4-year degree in a Human Kinetics field (e.g., Physical and Health Education; Kinesiology; Sports Psychology) or equivalent. Candidates who have graduated from a three-year degree program in a related discipline may be admitted to a qualifying year. Candidates with an honours degree in a related field such as Life Sciences, Sports Administration, Nursing Science, Rehabilitation Therapy, Sociology, Psychology, Physiology, Mechanical Engineering, Biology and Biochemistry, to name a few, may be admitted to the MHK program. However, such candidates may be required to enroll in undergraduate courses in the School of Human Kinetics to round out their academic preparation if deemed necessary by the admissions committee (students will be informed of this decision before being admitted to the program).
