2011-2012 Calendar Proof
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
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.
Admission to the Concurrent BRSS/BEd and BScKin/BEd programs will be discontinued after
September 2007. 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.
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.

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 .
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.
