The goal of the Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer degree (AA-T in Kinesiology) is designed to prepare students for transfer into the CSU system to complete a baccalaureate degree in Kinesiology or similar major.

The Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer degree (AA-T) is designed for students who are planning on transferring to a California State University (CSU). Upon completion of the transfer associate degree, the student is eligible for transfer with junior standing into the CSU system.

For an Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer (AA-T), students must complete the following:

  1. 60 semester CSU-transferable units.

  2. the California State University General Education (CSU-GE) pattern OR the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern.

  4. obtainment of a minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0.

  5. earn a grade of C (or P) or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis.

Note: Students are not required to complete any additional local graduation requirements for the AA-T (e.g., PE and Computer and Information Literacy courses).
