Associate in Arts for Transfer in Kinesiology (Associates)

Cabrillo College

Aptos, CA

The Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer (A.A.-T in Kinesiology) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Kinesiology may also be listed as physical education or human performance at some campuses. Kinesiology is the academic discipline concerned with the art and science of human movement. Students may pursue bachelor's and graduate degrees with emphases in adaptive physical education, athletic training, physical therapy, dance, movement sciences, sports management, teaching, and coaching which provide numerous career opportunities in both the public and private sectors. 

 

Students completing these degrees are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students pursuing transfer to a specific campus or major concentration should pay careful attention to the courses they choose from List A to insure major preparation for their preferred campus.
