Message from the Director
Welcome to the School of Health and Exercise Sciences. Our mission is to optimize human health, from the individual to the population, through excellence in interdisciplinary teaching, research, and community engagement. Students completing degrees in our program receive training in human anatomy and physiology, health promotion and health psychology, fitness appraisal and exercise prescription, and health program policy and epidemiology. This training prepares our graduates for careers in the allied health sciences (e.g., medicine, physiotherapy), and civic, corporate, and governmental agencies engaged in health promotion.
We are located on the ground floor of the newly opened Health Sciences Centre, with additional lab spaces and other facilities located in several other buildings on campus. Our enrollment has increased substantially since accepting our first students in 2007; however, we pride ourselves in offering an intimate learning environment with smaller class sizes and community placement opportunities for our 3rd and 4th year students.
We hope that our site provides the answers to all of your questions about the School and its mission. Please feel free to contact us if would like any additional information.
Paul van Donkelaar, Ph.D.
Acting Director, School of Health & Exercise Sciences
