The Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer (AA-T in Kinesiology) degree program provides students an introduction to human movement and function. The program will allow the successful student to gain knowledge and skills necessary to undertake an upper-division course of study in a number of areas including physical education/kinesiology, health science, and exercise physiology. The program serves students who will complete their education at MPC and prepares those who plan to transfer into the CSU system to pursue a baccalaureate degree in Kinesiology or related major. Students must complete the Associate Degree for Transfer requirements to earn the AA-T degree.

Learning Outcomes:
