6.1.1 Optional Pathways

A student may select from one of the four optional pathways. A pathway provides students with the opportunity to focus their studies. Particular attention should be paid to the necessary prerequisites when scheduling courses. These pathways are not binding. Students are not required to pursue a pathway, and even if they do, it is not reflected on their transcripts or degree parchments. Students who do not pursue a pathway must ensure the 120-credit-hour minimum degree requirements are met in accordance with Bachelor of Human Kinetics and Recreation (Co-operative) above.
