• The Bachelor of Physical and Health Education (BPHE) is a four-year degree program that balances the science-based study of human movement with curricular opportunities that broaden socio-cultural experiences and promote health and wellness through physical activity.
  • Students learn both the underlying scientific basis of human movement and apply that understanding through regular participation in sport and physical activity. Nipissing’s program’s philosophy — education through the physical — enriches student awareness, deepens understanding, establishes disciplined habits of thought, and prepares students for meaningful careers.
  • In addition, Nipissing’s curricular opportunities are supported by strong, faculty-driven research programs which provide students with direct and indirect experiences. Students are offered a multidisciplinary approach to discovery, dissemination, and application of knowledge related to the benefits of active, healthy behaviors on the prevention and treatment of disease.
  • Ultimately, through the achievement of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor goals, students in the BPHE program will recognize the importance of their role as advocates to encourage health enhancement and disease prevention.
