2025-2026 Edition
Kinesiology is the study of the principles of mechanics and anatomy in relation to human movement. The Kinesiology Associate in Arts for Transfer Degree (Kinesiology AA-T degree) provides students with an education in the core aspects of the Exercise of Science, Pedagogical, and Health and Human Performance. The Kinesiology AA-T degree prepares students for transfer to CSU campuses that offer bachelor's degrees in Kinesiology.
The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) degree is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing the AA-T are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major.
To earn this Kinesiology AA-T degree, students must meet the following requirements:
Completion of the following major requirements with a minimum grade of "C" (or "P").
Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC), which requires a minimum of 34 units; and
Completion of a minimum 60 Cal-GETC transferrable semester units with a minimum “C”  grade required in each course. A “C” is defined as a minimum of 2.0 grade points on a 4.0 scale.
Students planning on transferring to a four-year institution and major in Kinesiology should consult with a counselor regarding the transfer process and lower division requirements.
