An Honours degree provides more extensive exposure to the knowledge and practice of the discipline. Students may apply to the department for acceptance into the Honours stream upon successful completion of twenty courses in the Bachelor of Health and Physical Education program. Acceptance into the Honours stream is competitive meaning students with higher GPAs will be considered first. Students must present a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.50. Students may apply for entrance into Honours between March 1 and May 1 of the academic year in which they have successfully completed twenty courses.
Honours students are required to complete:
- Core courses required to obtain a Health and Physical Education Degree in their respective major;
- Additional courses in statistics and research methods; and
- An Honours thesis. The thesis provides an opportunity for the student to engage in research within a specific area of HPED, apply the statistical and research methods skills they have acquired in previous courses, and provides the student with the opportunity to write a formal research report under the direct supervision of their supervisor. Completion of an Honours degree indicates that you have engaged in some form of independent learning, under the guidance of an HPED faculty supervisor, over and above that required by regular degree-related course work.
