Kinesiology and Health Science BA: Program Map

1st Year

Your first year in the BA in Kinesiology and Health Science would likely include courses related to the Kinesiology and Health Science major, General Education courses meant to offer breadth in your studies, and courses outside the major that can be chosen from any subject taught at York.  A full time course load would be five classes in the Fall and Winter semester, but some students may choose to take less than five courses.  When you enroll, you will have the opportunity to choose a schedule that works best for you, but you can get an idea of how a university schedule might look by viewing this sample schedule.
