Program overview
A four year degree combining sport science foundations, physical activity leadership, programme design and community development, with applied placement in recreation, sport or health settings.
The community studies framing distinguishes this from a conventional sport degree. Graduates are trained to build participation and access rather than to coach elite performance, which is precisely the skill set that municipal recreation departments, provincial sport bodies and public health programmes recruit for.
As a degree level award, Bachelor of Arts Community Studies in Sport and Physical Activity Leadership carries no field of study restriction, which removes the CIP code check that non degree applicants must complete. Undergraduate study such as Bachelor of Arts Community Studies in Sport and Physical Activity Leadership does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility under the rules now in force, which married applicants should factor in from the start. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Bachelor of Arts Community Studies in Sport and Physical Activity Leadership in writing before you pay any deposit.
