General Information
The Faculty of Kinesiology offers two undergraduate degree programs: Bachelor of Science in
Kinesiology and a Bachelor of Recreation and Sport Studies. The Bachelor of Science in
2012-2013 Calendar Proof
Kinesiology (BScKin) is a four year discipline based program of study, with the focus being on
applying scientific principles to the study of exercise and sport. Students in the program develop
competency in communication, critical thinking, problem solving, professional conduct and
numeracy to prepare them for a variety of vocational careers and/or further study at the graduate
level. The program will prepare students for career opportunities in applied exercise, sport
science, and health related professions (e.g. fitness consulting, athletic therapy, ergonomics,
human factors) and related careers, as well as for further study in the exercise and sport science
disciplines or allied health professions (nutrition,occupational therapy, physiotherapy, medicine).
Students interested in becoming elementary or secondary physical education teachers and
coaches in school systems can select either the BRSS or the BScKin degree program. Students
who are interested in the Arts and Humanities as a teachable minor, should select the BRSS
degree program, while students who are interested in the Sciences as a teachable minor, should
select the BScKin degree program.
High School applicants or first-year students interested in the BEd program at UNB should refer
to the Faculty of Education Admission Advantage program in either the Admissions section of
this calendar (Item J) or the Bachelor of Education section under Fredericton Degree Programs.
University Regulations
Any point not covered in the following regulations will be governed by the General University
Regulations as stated in Section B of this Calendar. Questions concerning the application of
regulations should be directed to the Registrar in writing.
Conditions Regarding Admission to the BScKin Program
All admissions are on a competitive basis; satisfaction of minimum requirements does not
guarantee admission. Normally, no more than 100 students will be admitted to first year in the
Faculty of Kinesiology in any academic year.
Transfer Students
1. Normally, a minimum session grade point average of 3.0 is required for a student to be
considered for transfer into one of the Faculty's programs.

in the "Kinesiology", "Recreation", and "Sport Science" field is also considered for
admission.
4. Students presently registered in the Faculty will continue to be governed by the
regulations in effect when they first registered. Students who were formerly in the
Faculty and apply for re-admission, if accepted, will be governed by the regulations in
effect at the time of their re-admission.
Time Limitation
The maximum time period permitted between the first registration in the BScKin degree program
and the completion of the BScKin degree shall be eight (8) years. Normally, BScKin students

Honours Program: BScKin
1. The Honours program provides students with the opportunity to undertake academic
research and be recognized as one of the Faculty’s top students. Upon successful
completion of the program, “Honours” is printed on the student’s official academic
transcript. See the Faculty for application procedures.
2. Application requirements include: minimum CGPA of 3.7, must be in one’s final year of
study, must identify a faculty member willing to serve as one’s Honours Research Project
supervisor.
3. Once accepted into the program, students must: outline the required deliverables and
expectations of the Honours project which will be approved by the Honours supervisor
before being submitted to the Director of Undergraduate Studies no later than Oct. 15th.
This outline (one or two pages) briefly describes: i) the nature of the study being
conducted, ii) timelines, iii) deliverables and expectations. This outline serves as a course
contract between the student and the supervisor.
4. To graduate with a BScKin Honours, students must meet the following requirements:
maintain a minimum CGPA of 3.5 throughout one’s undergraduate degree; successfully
complete KIN 4900 Honours Research Project .
Pre-Professional Programs in Kinesiology
The BScKin degree program provides a variety of courses for students who are interested in
pursuing a professional degree such as: Medicine, Chiropractic, Athletic Therapy, Physiotherapy,
Occupational Therapy, and Massage Therapy. Experience has shown, where possible, that it is
highly desirable for the pre-professional student to obtain a bachelors degree before applying for
entrance to the professional school. Each professional school has its own specific entrance
requirements and it is necessary that the student ascertain these requirements in order to be sure
of qualifying as a candidate for admission to that particular school. Interested students should
meet with the undergraduate program director before selecting their courses.
Minor in Ergonomics
2012-2013 Calendar Proof
The Minor in Ergonomics is designed for students from inside and outside the Faculty of
Kinesiology interested in a coherent package of Ergonomics related courses. Students interested
in the minor, must apply through the Undergraduate Degree Program. Enrolment is limited.
Students enrolled in the Minor will be required to take 15 ch of required courses and 9 ch of
