field and preparation for upper division baccalaureate study. Students who have completed
the AA-T in Kinesiology will have satisfied the lower division requirements for transfer

area of emphasis with a grade of C or better. A “P” (Pass) grade is also an acceptable

point average of 2.0.
Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program, students will discover career and educational opportunities

kinesiology; perform motor skills that use concepts, theories, and methods in kinesiology
to bridge the gap between theory and practice; and apply and assess universal risk
