Kinesiology AA-T Degree
Kinesiology is the study of movement as it relates to physical activity, health, disease prevention, exercise, and sport. Kinesiology majors are grounded in an interdisciplinary body of knowledge which encompasses the biological, psychological, physical, and social sciences. They use this knowledge to understand how the human body responds to movement, exercise, exercise training, and overall fitness. Employment opportunities include health care, coaching, sports officiating, athletic training, and education. A baccalaureate degree in Kinesiology can serve as the foundation to Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or medical school.
The Associate in Arts Degree in Kinesiology for Transfer, also called Kinesiology AA-T, will be awarded upon completion of course work totaling 60 California State University (CSU) transferable units including the major requirements and the IGETC or CSU GE requirements with a minimum grade point average of 2.0. All courses in the major must be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Students completing this degree are not required to fulfill additional COD graduation requirements.
