Kinesiology, Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T)

The goal of the Kinesiology Program at Santa Barbara City College is to prepare students to develop the fundamental understanding of the influence of human movement on the acquisition of physical skills, personal health and intellectual development. The study of Kinesiology is an academic discipline and an essential component of the general education process. Kinesiology contributes to the broader understanding of human development and the role that movement plays in cultural, social and personal expression. Students are advised to meet with an academic counselor to discuss the best combination of courses to take for their AA-T and to meet the requirements of the transfer institution to which they are intending to transfer. For example, requirements for the Baccalaureate Degree in Kinesiology vary from one institution to another. It is, therefore, essential to become familiar with the requirements of the institution a student plans to attend.

The Associate in Arts Degree in Kinesiology for Transfer provides students with the foundational knowledge in Kinesiology needed to make a successful transition into a Baccalaureate Degree in Kinesiology at any of the CSU campuses. This degree is in compliance with the Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act {Senate Bill 1440, codified in California Education Code sections 66746-66749} and guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an “associate degree for transfer,” a variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. Upon completion of the transfer associate degree, the student is eligible for transfer with junior standing into the California State University (CSU) system. Students will be given priority consideration when applying to a particular program that is similar to the student’s community college area of emphasis.
