      History

      Sports teams and organized physical training were part of the University's activities from its beginning in 1908. Formal instruction in this discipline originated in the Department of Physical Education in the Faculty of Education (1945-1954), which became a School (1954) and finally a Faculty (1964) of Physical Education, the first such institution in the Commonwealth. The Faculty was later known as the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation (1977), then as the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation (2018). The Faculty offers undergraduate degrees in physical education (BPE) and recreation administration (BA, Rec. Admin.) as well as teacher training in conjunction with the Faculty of Education. Along with supporting academic endeavours through graduate studies and research, the Faculty administers intramural and recreational programs on campus and acts as an advisor for intercollegiate athletics.
