They are strong advocates for the College of Kinesiology, the University of Saskatchewan and the Saskatoon community as a whole. They organize many fundraising campaigns, such as our Annual Road Hockey Tournament, where students, staff and faculty assemble teams for a little friendly competition and a deserving Saskatoon charity.

Student Exchange

The College of Kinesiology participates in an exchange program with the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.

Learning Communities

The College of Kinesiology offers its first‑year students the opportunity to join a Learning Community. A Learning Community is a group of first‑year students taking a common set of three classes. Imagine walking into your first‑year classes and already knowing a whole network of friends you can rely on for everything from note‑swapping to friendship. Learning Communities students meet once a week outside of the classroom, and are supported by peer mentors, the College of Kinesiology, their professors, alumni and the University Learning Centre. Watch for more information about Learning Communities once you are admitted to our college.

Experiential Learning

Students in the College of Kinesiology are given many opportunities for practical and hands‑on learning. There are many lab experiences within kinesiology classes that will provide you with this hands‑on experience. In addition, outstanding laboratory facilities and access to undergraduate research opportunities give our program a competitive edge.

As you enter your fourth year, there are several courses, including practical experiences outside of the college, that may interest you. Practicum experience is available in athletic therapy, adult fitness management, business and cardiac rehabilitation. Undergraduate students have the opportunity to preview the academic research world through the College of Kinesiology's One Credit Research Experience
