The Graduate Program in Kinesiology and Health Science (KAHS) faculty appointment criteria are governed by and consistent with the Policy on Appointments to the Faculty of Graduate Studies (FGS). The KAHS Executive Graduate Committee is responsible for advising on program-specific criteria, procedures and appointments.
The FGS website provides an overview of all York University graduate faculty appointments.
You are invited to contact KAHS faculty list below to inquire about their research and doing a graduate degree under their supervision.
