CNC axes Kinesiology program

A popular program at CNC has been dissolved.

On Thursday, the board on the recommendation of the Executive and Vice-President Academic voted to cancel the Kinesiology program.

A long-time faculty member confirmed the news to MyPGNow and stated the program consisted of 70% international students with the remainder being domestic.

The faculty member noted intake for September (no new students) was suspended by the college, a decision that made earlier this year.

CNC is currently dealing with a reported eight-million-dollar deficit.

In February, the board approved the cancellations of multiple programs including Associate Arts – Modern Classics, English Language, and Community and School Support.

A $92.6 million balanced budget for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, was green lit in April.
