Unco Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi guys, I was just wondering what are the top universities out in Canada for kinesiology? I've already applied to UofT, Waterloo and York but I'm just wondering which ones are most well known for their program? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osteon Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 uCalgary, UBC, uOttawa, Queen's and Waterloo are all very strong from a science perspective (i.e. physiology, biomechanics etc). I dont know which ones are good from an arts perspective (i.e. sport psychology, sociology, coaching etc.). Which one ranks as first depends on your interest within the discipline. I wouldn't recommend York or Toronto for kinesiology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unco Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 thanks for the reply. I've considered Waterloo because of their co-op, but that means i'd have to take residence which costs a very hefty amount... UofT is very close by and I've been told its better to go there because of their reputation...im also told that york has a very good kin program, however i'd much rather attend UofT or waterloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osteon Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yes, residence can be a game changer. I know for biomechanics at least, York and U of T aren't top 5 for sure. It's possible that York is good in other areas; if I recall correctly, they are Ok in physiology, motor control, and psych. However, I think their Dean has gone to UofT now. UofT is a young program but a good school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leap87 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Unco.... Waterloo is the best university for kinesiology. If you want, PM me and I'll give you the details. UofT - don't go there. Won't get you anywhere. It's not a good program and you're becoming Physical Education Teacher - ie it's not a kinesiology program. Anyway, check out this thread: http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42504&highlight=kinesiology In fact, York's program in kine is ranked in the Top 3 in Ontario - above UofT. I don't know where osteon got his/hers info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
