Answer 1

So you need to spend 4 years completing your undergraduate degree often in Kinesiology and then 2 years doing the MSc PT. in total now in Ontario it is usually 6 years before becoming a qualified registered PT. Most kinesiology programmes are 4 year BSc courses.

Answer 2

If their is a college or university that offers a degree particular to kinesiology at the bachelors level, it would take approximately four years as a full-time student, and provided the degree is taken as prescribed by the institution. A masters degree level could take approximately two to three years beyond the bachelors.

Answer 3

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.
