  • Brief background on existing program*

    The Kinesiology program at Ontario Tech was born out of the Health Sciences program over a decade ago, with the first class graduating in 2010. Early iterations of the program were based on existing infrastructure and faculty expertise, thus creating a Kinesiology program with a strong focus on science, health, rehabilitation, and exercise therapy. This prepared students for a small number of career options, rather than the breadth that the field of Kinesiology has to offer. Furthermore, there were few elective options for students interested in other fields within Kinesiology, and little flexibility to take courses outside of faculty or in other program areas within Health Sciences.
    As the number of faculty members in the program area has grown, and the intake of students has grown, the Kinesiology team has made several minor changes to ensure delivery of a high-quality program. The program content is informed by our accrediting body, the Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators (CCUPEKA), and to a small degree, the College of Kinesiology of Ontario.

  • Rationale for the new pathway*

    Ontario Tech’s Kinesiology program already has pathways from college programs in Fitness and Health Promotion, Occupational Therapy Assistant, and Physical Therapy Assistant. These are two- year college diploma programs, which then require three years for students to complete their degree in Kinesiology.


    Massage Therapy is a three-year Advanced Program where students take demanding courses highly relevant to Kinesiology such as Anatomy, Physiology, Pathophysiology of the cardiorespiratory and neuromusculoskeletal systems, Health and Wellness and Therapeutic Exercise. Having a Kinesiology degree in addition to a massage therapy Diploma will provide a stronger learning experience for students, giving them advanced critical thinking. Students who choose to register with both the College of Massage Therapy and the College of Kinesiology in Ontario will be able to provide more services to clients. This is also important as the physical demands of being a massage therapist often mean that they are looking to diversify their career options, as many cannot practice full time for more than ten years.

    How will this enhance the parent program and/or opportunities for students and graduates?
  • Fit with the mission, mandate, strategic plans and program offerings*

    One of Ontario Tech’s priorities is “Learning re-imagined”. This priority seeks to provide flexible and dynamic learning opportunities, a range of credentials and experiential learning opportunities and learner-centred options.

    Fit with the mission, mandate, strategic plans of the University, and the broader array of program offerings (evidence of fit, particularly areas of teaching and research strengths and complementary areas of study).
  • Resource requirements
  • Faculty members

    No additional faculty members are required

  • Physical resource requirements

    Numbers of students accepted would be limited to ensure that we can work within existing Kinesiology laboratory space and timetabling.

(D) Impact and consultation
Next
  • STEP 5 - Complete Section D
  • We have consulted with all impacted areas*
    By selecting 'yes', you agree that you have consulted with all affected areas prior to beginning this proposal. Select 'N/A' only if the change(s) do not involve students, staff and faculty from other programs or courses.
  • Process of consultation:*

    Extensive consultation has occurred throughout the development of this new option for students. We have had several meetings with Durham College faculty and registrar's staff as well as meetings with CIQE and the Ontario Tech Office of the Registrar (admissions, records/registration, fees). Discussions have included curriculum and logistics.

    Process of consultation with other units if the change(s) involve(s) students, staff, and/or faculty from other programs or courses.
  • Indigenous Content and Consultation
  • Does this program contain any Indigenous content?*

  • For more information on how Indigenous content is defined at Ontario Tech University and how to consult with the Indigenous Education Advisory Circle, please refer to the Protocol for Consultation with the Indigenous Education Advisory Circle.

  • Has the IEAC been contacted?
  • If Yes, when?
  • What was the advice you received from the IEAC? And, how has it been included in your proposal?

    Indigenous content in the program has not been changed.

  • Did the IEAC ask you to return the proposal to them for review?
    If Yes, have they completed their review?
(E) Routing
Next
  • STEP 6 - Enter routing information

  • Important note: it is imperative that you choose the correct routing path as it cannot be changed once a proposal has been launched. If you have made a routing error after launching the proposal, the proposal will be cancelled and a new proposal will be required. If you require assistance with routing, please contact ciqe@ontariotechu.ca.

  • Should this proposal be routed to the Program Approval step prior to Curriculum Committee?*
    If your curriculum committee is organized by program, or if program-level approval prior to curriculum committee is not required, select 'no'.
  • Faculty or program-level group*
    Choose your faculty or program-level group from the list of options. If your faculty has program-level committees, choose the corresponding program group from the list. Otherwise, choose the home faculty. You may choose more than one option, but please note that your proposal will go to the committees of all options selected. The proposal will not move on to the next step until all faculties have approved at their respective committees. Note: If you are making a change for a Bachelor of Engineering program in FESNS, you must select both the Faculty of Energy Systems and Nuclear Science, and the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science from the list of options.
  • Is this change for a Bachelor of Engineering program?*
  • Are there departments associated with your faculty?*
