Mission
Our mission is to study human structure and function and their relation to health and movement. We seek to advance, apply and disseminate relevant knowledge and expertise.
The department builds on the basic sciences to link the study of movement, physiology and health with the broad scope of human endeavor. Faculty comprise anatomists, biochemists, biologists, biomechanists, biophysicists, engineers, ergonomists, kinesiologists, physicians, physiologists and psychologists who study structure and function throughout the life cycle in health and disease, in benign and extreme environments, at work, at home, at sports and at play. Their educational goals impart a sound knowledge base and promote critical thinking, problem solving, research, technical and communication skills appropriate to the field, through undergraduate, graduate and continuing studies programs.
To this end, we strive for excellence in teaching, research and service programs focused on the following aspects of the human condition
• movement and its control
• regulation and adaptation of physiological systems
• growth, development and aging
and on the following applied disciplines.
• health promotion
• prevention of injury and disease
• functional evaluation and rehabilitation
• ergonomics/human factors
• environmental, exercise and work physiology
Transfer Credit and Residency Requirements
Transfer students are advised that residency requirements apply to kinesiology programs.
The department offers a major in biomedical physiology and a major in kinesiology, leading to a BSc, BSc honors. The department also offers a minor in kinesiology, a minor in biomedical physiology, a post baccalaureate diploma in kinesiology, a certificate in applied human nutrition, and a certificate in health and fitness studies. Co-operative education helps biomedical physiology and kinesiology majors gain valuable work experience during their undergraduate studies.
The kinesiology major and honors programs are accredited with the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators (CCUPEKA).
Note that students cannot combine: a kinesiology major with a biomedical physiology minor; nor a biomedical physiology major with a kinesiology minor; nor a double major in kinesiology and biomedical physiology; nor a double minor in kinesiology and biomedical physiology.
Kinesiology students with appropriate courses can apply to the British Columbia College of Teachers (BCCT) to have their degree accepted for professional certification. BCCT reviews applications individually. Contact the department for information.
Students enrolling in kinesiology courses must have a grade of C- or better in prerequisite courses. Students enrolled in kinesiology certificate, minor, major (including concentrations), honors, second degree, and post baccalaureate diploma programs must have grade of C- or better in all required courses.
Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students completing degree programs must fulfil writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of their program. See “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7 for information.
Admission Requirements
Bachelor of science program entry is possible via
• direct admission from high school
• transfer from a recognized post-secondary institution
• internal transfer from within 91ÅÝܽ
Admission is competitive. A separate admission average for each of the three entry routes is established each term, depending on spaces available and subject to the dean’s approval. Admission averages are calculated on five required high school courses or five or more required post-secondary courses. If one or more courses have been duplicated (repeated), the grades from all course attempts will be used equally to calculate the kinesiology admission GPA.
Direct Admission – High School and Direct Transfer, Post Secondary Institutions
See “British Columbia and Yukon Applicants” on page 20.
91ÅÝܽ students applying for Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology admission must complete the following courses with a grade of C- or better.

A C- grade or better is required in each course used for the admission application. Those not meeting the kinesiology admission GPA upon completion of all four additional courses will be advised of alternatives.
For students transferring some of core courses from another post-secondary institution: only courses completed at Simon Fraser University (and not previously completed elsewhere) are used in the kinesiology admission GPA. Normally, at least 15 units from core courses are required as a basis for the GPA calculation. Exceptions must be approved by the department.
Application Procedure
Students should complete a program approval form available at the kinesiology general office and submit it to the kinesiology advisor by July 1 for fall term approval, November 1 for spring term approval, or March 1 for summer term approval.
