Western Kinesiology School:
The School of Kinesiology started as a small academic unit within the Faculty of Arts and Science in 1948, and gradually expanded to have Department status within the Faculty of Social Science. In 1972, it became the Faculty of Kinesiology, a status it retained until it was amalgamated with the Faculties of Nursing and Applied Health Sciences in 1997 to become one of five Schools in the new Faculty of Health Sciences.
From a graduating class of 3 in 1950 to an undergraduate student body of over 1,300 in 1999, from an original faculty and staff complement of 4 to now more than 100, from hopes of a graduate program to a full program of 91 graduate students, including 42 PhD students, Western Kinesiology has grown to become one of the most distinguished Schools in its field in North America
