The Rehabilitation Sciences Specialization is open to Kinesiology students who wish to obtain some specialization in rehabilitation sciences.
The Honours Kinesiology program is well suited to prepare students for future study/practice in a wide variety of health professions (e.g., physical therapy, chiropractics, occupational therapy, athletic therapy, clinical kinesiology). Although the Kinesiology core includes several rehabilitation science courses, the Rehabilitation Sciences Specialization is designed to provide additional elective courses in rehabilitation sciences to prepare students for success in post-degree study/practice in the health professions.
