Students will create a balance between physical fitness, social well-being, health and academic success; distinguish principles of healthy weight management through exercise and nutrition; identify and practice the fundamental concepts of wellness and fitness; demonstrate essential motor skill patterns to fit a variety of activities and identify and practice high safety standards, support environmental needs and provide a positive experience for participants.\n\nThe Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer degree (AA-T) prepares students to transfer into the CSU system to complete a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, Physical Education, or a major deemed similar by a CSU campus. Students earning an associate degree for transfer and meeting the CSU minimum transfer admission requirements are guaranteed admission with junior standing within the CSU system. Students are also given priority admission consideration to their local CSU campus but not to a particular campus or major. Upon transfer, students will be required to complete no more than 60 additional prescribed units to earn a bachelor’s degree.\n\nTo earn the Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer degree, students must complete 60 CSU-transferable semester units with a minimum grade point average of 2.0, including both of the following:\n\n- completion of all courses required for the major with grades of “C” or better; and\n- California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC)\n\nThe exact wording of the law pertaining to associate degrees for transfer may be found in Education Code Section 66746.\n\nIt is highly recommended that, prior to transferring, students complete courses that satisfy the CSU United States History, Constitution and American Ideals graduation requirement. In all cases, students should consult with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements.\n\n**RESTRICTION:** International coursework from non-United States regionally accredited institutions cannot be applied to associate degrees for transfer." }, { "kind": "courselist", "title": "Required Courses", "rows": [ { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0081", "title": "Introduction to Kinesiology", "units": "3", "indent": false }, { "type": "course", "code": "BIOL 0005", "title": "Human Anatomy", "units": "5", "indent": false }, { "type": "course", "code": "BIOL 0006", "title": "Human Physiology", "units": "5", "indent": false }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Select a maximum of one course (minimum 1-unit each) from any three of the following areas:", "units": "3" }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Aquatics:" }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0040", "title": "Water Exercise for Fitness", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0041", "title": "Fundamentals of Swimming", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0042", "title": "Swimming Conditioning", "indent": true }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Combatives:" }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0018", "title": "Peaceful Self Defense", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0019", "title": "Basic Self Defense", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0020", "title": "Multi Self Defense System", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0023", "title": "Tai Chi", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0024", "title": "Self-Defense for Personal Safety", "indent": true }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Dance:" }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0050A", "title": "Ballet I", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0050B", "title": "Ballet II", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0051", "title": "Jazz Dance", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0053", "title": "Ballroom Dance", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0054", "title": "Modern Dance", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0055", "title": "Line Dance", "indent": true }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Fitness:" }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0003A", "title": "Cardio Fitness - Level I", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0003B", "title": "Cardio Fitness - Level II", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0004", "title": "Cross Training", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0005A", "title": "Weight Training", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0005B", "title": "Strength Training - Circuit and Power Lifting", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0005C", "title": "Weight Training - Advanced", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0006", "title": "Physical Fitness", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0010", "title": "Fitness and Improved Health Boot Camp", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0007", "title": "Aerobic Fitness", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0009", "title": "Cardio Kickboxing", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0062", "title": "Fundamentals of Yoga", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0069", "title": "Mat Pilates", "indent": true }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Individual Sports:" }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0026", "title": "Badminton", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0030", "title": "Golf", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0032", "title": "Tennis", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0036A", "title": "Beginning Pickleball", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0036B", "title": "Intermediate Pickleball", "indent": true }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Team Sports:" }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0027", "title": "Recreational Basketball", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0029", "title": "Flag Football", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0031A", "title": "Soccer Level I", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0031B", "title": "Soccer Level II", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0033", "title": "Volleyball", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "KIN 0034", "title": "Beach Volleyball", "indent": true }, { "type": "comment", "text": "Select 6-7 units from the following:", "units": "6-7" }, { "type": "course", "code": "HED 0001", "title": "Standard First Aid/Community CPR", "indent": true }, { "type": "course", "code": "STAT C1000", "title": "Introduction to Statistics", "indent": true }, { "type": "total", "text": "Total Units", "units": "22-23" } ] } ] }
