Program details

The Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management offers four degree programs that have a base of shared core courses to ensure students experience the interconnections across the faculty and its related fields of practice.

Expected duration: 3 years (plus qualifying year)

To graduate with a four-year Bachelor of Kinesiology – Athletic Therapy degree, a student must have passed 120 credit hours of the program and must have achieved a Degree Grade Point Average (DGPA) of 2.00 with a minimum grade of “C” in all Faculty-required courses.

We recommend that courses be completed in sequence, otherwise an additional year may be required.

Valid CPR (Basic Life Support Provider) and Standard First Aid (Red Cross, St. John’s Ambulance) certification is required prior to the start of classes in Year 2 through graduation.

Each year while in the program, Athletic Therapy students must also register as members with both the Manitoba Athletic Therapists Association (MATA) and Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA).

Athletic Therapy field experience

Students in the Athletic Therapy Program will be required to complete several hours of clinical and field (sports team) experiences on campus and in the community during their degree. These experiences provide opportunities to apply classroom learning in a practical setting, which prepares students for the Canadian Athletic Therapy Association (CATA) examinations.

Admission requirements

The following are minimum requirements for entry into the BKin – Athletic Therapy program. Meeting these requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the program.

The Bachelor of Kinesiology – Athletic Therapy is an advanced entry program, which means that you must complete at least 24 credit hours of university-level study with a minimum adjusted grade point average of 2.0 before you can be considered for admission. 

If you do not meet the requirements for advanced entry into Athletic Therapy, you may be eligible for admission to the Faculty of Science or another program. If you have not attended university before, you can apply for a program with direct entry, such as University 1.
