Bachelor of Health and Physical Education - Sport and Recreation Management

With a fresh approach to health and physical education that is unique to Western Canada, Mount Royal's distinctive four-year program emphasizes a comprehensive approach to health and physical education while providing students with valuable hands-on experiential learning opportunities in- and outside the classroom. Going beyond traditional program offerings, the BHPE focuses on creating experienced and well-rounded graduates prepared to become strong health and wellness advocates in the community, or pursue further education at a graduate or professional school level.

Students can get the best of both worlds as they benefit from an innovative blend of theory and real-world experience, for example working with sports teams or in recreational facilities. Students will develop business acumen that will prepare them to launch their own business venture or bring an entrepreneurial perspective to an organization.
