Program Overview

Kinesiology is an academic area of study concerned with the art and science of human movement. The Kinesiology Program offers students an opportunity to enrich their education with emphasis on improved individual physical well-being and prepares students for transfer to bachelor's degree programs in Kinesiology, Exercise Science, Physical Education, Physical Therapy, Athletic Training, Coaching and Fitness Management. Students may obtain an AA-T in Kinesiology and optimize preparation for advanced degrees in Kinesiology at four-year institutions. The AA-T degree requires the completion of 60 transfer semester units of degree-applicable courses, a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0, a minimum grade of "C" (or "P") for each course in the major, and completion of IGETC and/or CSU GE-Breadth.
