The PhD program in Kinesiology has a community-based focus recognizing the wellbeing of both individuals and the collective at local, national, and international levels. Graduates will be prepared to provide the resources necessary to sustain the community and will be able to supply current, novel ideas, and knowledge. This community-based focus in a Kinesiology program is not represented in any other existing program in Canada.
