Kinesiology is an academic area of study concerned with the art and science of human movement. Students will learn and understand how to display increasing confidence and preparation in a wide range of areas including, but not limited to; sports medicine, exercise physiology, philosophy, sociology and psychology of sport, personal training, biomechanics, motor development and coaching. The Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for transfer degree will prepare students to pursue further study and achievement of a baccalaureate degree at a CSU in the discipline of Kinesiology. The Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an “associate degree for transfer”, a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major.
To earn this degree complete the major coursework listed here with “C” grades or higher and the following graduation requirements:
- 60 CSU transferable units;
- the Cal-GETC pattern; and
- 2.0 minimum overall CSU GPA.
Courses used in the major may also be counted in the general education areas. Courses used for this major may also be used to earn other degrees at VVC.
