Students who complete course work toward an Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer Degree (AA-T in Kinesiology) will utilize the science of Kinesiology to better understand and explain problems and issues with human movement, fitness, and health. Students will also apply the science of Kinesiology to complete the program outcomes which include the ability to understand, appreciate and achieve the maximum benefits provided by physical movement for the development of an individual’s health and wellness

The Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer (AA-T) program is designed to prepare students for CSU transfer to complete a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology or a "similar" major at a CSU campus.  Each CSU campus determines which of the degrees it offers are “similar” and can be completed with the preparation included in the AA-T in Kinesiology within 60 units once a student transfers, so which majors are “similar” varies from CSU to CSU. For a current list of what majors (and what options or areas of emphasis within that major) have been designated as “similar” to this degree at each CSU campus, please refer to CSU’s Associate Degree for Transfer Major icangotocollege.com and Campus Search webpage and seek guidance from a College counselor.

To earn an AA-T in Kinesiology, students must:

1. Complete of 60 semester or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
   1. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE-Breadth) requirements    
   2. A minimum of 20-25 semester units in Kinesiology major as listed in the Moorpark College catalog.
2. Obtain a 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 transfer institutions and majors may require a higher GPA. Please consult with a counselor for more information. 
3. Obtain a grade of “C” or better or “P” in all courses required in the major. Even though a “pass-no-pass” is allowed (Title 5 §55063), it is highly recommended that students complete their major courses with a letter grade (A, B, or C).
4. Complete requirements in residency. For students in the Ventura County Community College District, a minimum of 12 units must be completed in residency at the college granting the degree.

Students transferring to a CSU campus that does accept the AA-T in Kinesiology will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree (unless the major is a designated “high-unit” major at a particular campus). 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 to obtain more information on university admission and transfer requirements.

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to: 

• apply the science of kinesiology to understand, appreciate and achieve the maximum benefits provided by physical movement for developing an individual’s health and wellness.
