The Kinesiology Program at Santa Barbara City College aims to equip students with core knowledge about how human movement impacts physical skill development, individual wellness, and cognitive growth. As both an academic field and vital part of general education, Kinesiology enhances our comprehension of human evolution and movement's significance in cultural, social, and personal contexts. Prospective students should consult with academic advisors to determine the optimal course selection for their AA-T degree and to fulfill the specific transfer requirements of their target institution. Note that Bachelor's Degree prerequisites in Kinesiology differ across schools, making it crucial to understand the expectations of your chosen university.
The Kinesiology Associate in Arts for Transfer degree establishes the fundamental knowledge needed for seamless progression to a Bachelor's program at any CSU campus. This specialized transfer degree (AA-T or AS-T), available at California Community Colleges, guarantees admission to a comparable CSU system program (though not necessarily a specific campus). AA-T/AS-T graduates receive priority admission to related programs and enjoy GPA benefits when applying to competitive CSU campuses or majors. Those considering an AA-T/AS-T should schedule a counseling session to learn more about this transfer pathway.
