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.
