#### Kinesiology Associate in Arts for Transfer

The Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer (AA-T) is intended for all students who plan to complete an Associate in Arts in Kinesiology, while also meeting CalGETC requirements for transfer. This degree is especially valuable for those students planning on completing a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at a CSU campus because the Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer guarantees admission to the CSU system (but not to a particular campus or major). This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to a university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements. Upon completion of the following requirements, the student will be eligible for an Associate Degree for Transfer: (1) Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following: a. California General Education Transfer Curriculum (CalGETC). b. A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
