Course Based
Students can complete this degree as either a full- or part-time student. Full-time students are required to register in and successfully complete nine credits per fall and winter terms. Part-time students must register in and successfully complete a minimum of three credits of coursework for at least one term in each September to August period to keep their program active. Students are not required to meet the faculty's residency requirement and have six years to complete the degree. The time to completion varies owing to the part-time status of many students.
Because our professors collaborate in research across many faculties, you are not restricted to only taking courses in the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation. You may also take courses in other faculties, such as Rehabilitation Medicine, Arts and Science.
