Kinesiology and Health Studies

The Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies is a dynamic multi-faceted unit that provides undergraduate and graduate programs in the broad areas of Health, Kinesiology, and Sport and Recreation Studies. We offer several undergraduate degrees including two joint degrees with the Faculties of Business and Education. For graduate students, we offer course-based and thesis-based Masters programs as well as a dissertation-based PhD. 

The Faculty has a long and proud history of providing diverse programs and services for students, faculty and staff, and the broader community in southern Saskatchewan. These programs include: Varsity and Club Sports, Recreational Sports, extensive programming for children and youth, and specialized adult programs as well as allied health services through the Centre for Health, Wellness and Performance.

We manage the Fitness and Lifestyle Centre, an indoor 200m track, the Aquatics Centre, multi-purpose activity and fitness spaces (fields, beach-volleyball courts, multi-purpose outdoor courts) as well as the gymnasiums on the U of R main campus.

What makes us special are the many opportunities we give our undergraduate and graduate students to get hands-on and work related experiences that connect directly to their career goals and help them to prepare for life beyond the University. Most of the programming and services we provide are delivered with the help of students.

You can find us in the Centre for Kinesiology, Health, and Sport, located in the southeast corner of campus.
