School of Health and Human Performance

Welcome
The School of Health and Human Performance is part of Dalhousie's Faculty of Health. We offer undergraduate programs in Health Promotion, Kinesiology, Recreation Management and Therapeutic Recreation. Our mission is ‘health and wellness for all’ - we strive to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and communities through innovative teaching practices, community engagement, and impactful research.
We pride ourselves on small class sizes, our unique prevention health lens, and built-in experiential learning opportunities (internships, practicums, simulated and service learning) that help our students springboard into amazing careers following graduation. We invite you to explore these pages to learn more about HAHP and we hope to meet you soon!
