Why study Physical Education at Augustana?
The Physical Education program at Augustana provides a solid foundation in the areas of health sciences, education, sport, and wellness. Within this program you will choose between the Outdoor Education or Kinesiology & Sport Studies streams.
Outdoor Education stream:
Learn the ways of the Friluftsliv life! The Outdoor Education stream gives you a strong theoretical foundation in outdoor education and environmental studies as well as excellent wilderness travel and leadership skills. This program includes a diverse range of theory courses, activity courses, field studies, and expeditions – a unique mix that you won’t find anywhere else!
Kinesiology & Sport Studies stream:
This stream provides you with a broad base of knowledge in physical education, drawing from a liberal arts and sciences core curriculum, and includes both theory courses and activity courses. Specialized knowledge gained in this stream includes: growth and structure of the human body, effective and efficient movement of the body, the edge between performance and injury, and critical engagement in historical trends and development.
This major is taken as part of a Bachelor of Arts degree. Physical Education can also be taken as part of a Bachelor of Science degree. The BA program does not require the same supporting courses in the other sciences as the BSc program.
Why Augustana?
Augustana Campus, located in Camrose, Alberta, one hour southeast of Edmonton, is home to just over 1,000 students from across Canada and around the world. Augustana offers liberal arts and science degree programs in an intimate and personalized setting, with smaller class sizes and a more flexible academic schedule.
Augustana also offers a modified semester system called The Augustana Calendar. Each semester is comprised of a three-week session studying a single course, followed by a more traditional 11-week session studying up to four courses. This gives you the opportunity to dive deeper into research, travel, and other experiential learning endeavors, while at the same time reducing stress and workload.
