Nipissing is pleased to announce its new Bachelor of Physical and Health Education program! This four-year degree will prepare students to become community leaders in the promotion of healthy, active, lifestyles. The Physical and Health Education program is characterized by curricular opportunities which are designed to broaden experiences, promote health and wellness through physical activity, enrich awareness, deepen understanding, establish disciplined habits of thought, prepare meaningful careers and, by doing so, help individuals become informed, responsive and productive citizens.

The proposed courses offer students an opportunity to meet accreditation standards identified by the Ontario Kinesiology Association (OKA).

There will be several unique components to this program:

• Community leadership practicums place students within local sports organizations to contribute to their development as sports leaders and to develop ongoing relationships with community based services.
• Nipissing's natural environment offers opportunities that are an integral part of the curriculum such as walking/hiking trails, ski/snowshoe trails.
