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**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.  Transfer into a Kinesiology (or related) program of study at a four-year institution.\n2.  Explain the research-supported physiological and psychological benefits of physical activity.\n3.  Describe and apply current nutritional guidelines to enhance physical health and well-being.\n4.  Exhibit theoretical comprehension and competence in all health, exercise science, and nutrition discipline courses."
