Program overview
Bachelor of Physical and Health Education at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. A four year degree in physical and health education covering human movement and exercise science, health promotion, physical literacy, coaching, curriculum and the pedagogy of physical activity.
The degree is built as much for teaching and community health as for sport, which is where the employment actually sits.
