It is accepted by some but not all CSU campuses. Students who complete this degree and transfer to a participating CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree. It may not be appropriate preparation for students transferring to a CSU campus that does not accept the degree. Students who plan to complete this degree should consult a counselor for additional information about participating CSU campuses as well as university admission, degree, and transfer requirements.\n\nNOTE: Students intending to transfer into this major at a CSU should consult with a counselor and visit ASSIST for guidance on appropriate transfer coursework.\n\n**EXERCISE SCIENCE CLASSES/INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS DISCLAIMER:**\nParticipation in all sports and exercise science activities involves certain inherent risks. Risks may include, but are not limited to, neck and spinal injuries that may result in paralysis or brain injury, injury to bones, points, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and other aspects of the muscular skeleton system, and serious injury, or impairment, to other aspects of the body and general health, including death. The San Diego Community College District, its officers, agents, and employees are not responsible for the inherent risks associated with participation in exercise science classes/intercollegiate sports. Students are strongly advised to consult a physician prior to participating in any exercise science activity.\n\n**Award Notes:**\nThe following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees:\n\n-   Completion of 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University\n-   Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in an “AA-T” or “AS-T” major.\n-   Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some CSU campuses and majors may require a higher GPA. Please see a counselor for more information.\n-   Minimum grade of “C” or “P” or better for each course in the major. Students should review the Pass/No Pass acceptance policy of the transfer institution prior to requesting this grade option.\n-   Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) pattern.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s): Students who complete the Kinesiology Program will be able to:**\n\n1.  Demonstrate movement competence as it relates to physical activity, fitness, and sport.\n2.  Design exercise programs to improve key fitness components, including cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition.\n3.  Articulate knowledge of how physical activity influences health across the lifespan, emphasizing its role in chronic disease prevention and quality of life.\n4.  Apply concepts of wellness, physical activity, and exercise to develop programs that promote overall health and well-being for individuals and communities.\n5.  Utilize current exercise science technologies, tools and software for assessment, program design, and analysis to enhance learning, performance, and research outcomes."
