Where can I study Kinesiology?
In Canada, the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators, or CCUPEKA, has been accrediting university and college programs for content and instruction. The CKA invites you to read their document in order to find out more about the increasing role of kinesiology professionals in society: The Role of Kinesiologists and the Promotion of Physical Activity and Exercise in the Canadian Health Care System.

You can find post-secondary kinesiology education at universities in every Canadian province. The program is usually a four-year undergraduate degree. The CKA recommends that you study in the province in which you wish to practise. The CKA also invites you to contact the provincial kinesiology associations.
