PATHWAY TO DEGREE<br />
If you have completed your diploma in Fitness and Health<br />
Promotion and are interested in pursuing a degree, you<br />
can apply to complete your BHSc (Hons) degree with a<br />
specialization in Kinesiology – Health and Wellness. This<br />
program allows you to capitalize on the practical background<br />
obtained while completing your college diploma and will<br />
enhance your knowledge <strong>of</strong> the theoretical concepts<br />
needed to become a kinesiologist. You are eligible for a<br />
block transfer <strong>of</strong> your diploma credits, which enables you to<br />
complete your BHSc degree in three years rather than four.<br />

“Throughout my studies at UOIT, I have had the<br />
pleasure <strong>of</strong> learning and working alongside an<br />
overabundance <strong>of</strong> extremely knowledgeable and<br />
passionate faculty members. In doing so, I have<br />
immersed myself in a wealth <strong>of</strong> knowledge in the study<br />
<strong>of</strong> kinesiology, and most definitely prepared myself for<br />
my upcoming medical school application.”<br />

CANADIAN MEMORIAL CHIROPRACTIC<br />
COLLEGE PATHWAY<br />
The Rehabilitation option is part <strong>of</strong> an articulation<br />
agreement between the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic<br />
College (CMCC) and UOIT. Selected UOIT students will<br />
have an opportunity to complete their Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Health<br />
Sciences (Honours) in Kinesiology degree and their Doctor<br />
<strong>of</strong> Chiropractic (DC) degree in seven years. Students will<br />
apply to this pathway following their first year at UOIT and, if<br />
successful, will begin their studies at CMCC starting in their<br />
fourth year <strong>of</strong> studies.<br />
