The Master of Human Kinetics (MHK) is a two-year graduate program that requires earning 24 credits through either a Thesis or Major Paper track. The Thesis track consists of 12 course credits plus 12 thesis credits, focusing on comprehensive research of a human kinetics subject. Alternatively, the Major Paper track includes 18 course credits and 6 paper credits, centered around thorough examination and integration of a specific human kinetics theme.
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).
