This pathway is designed to meet Associate in Arts degree requirements with a concentration in Kinesiology, Sports, & Exercise Science. This pre-major pathway is designed to prepare you to transfer at the junior-level into an kinesiology or related program at a four-year college or university. Kinesiologists ask questions such as: How does physical activity affect the aging process? What physiological changes characterize the relaxation response? How do humans adapt to environmental stresses? Kinesiology involves the multidisciplinary study of human movement and function. When you pursue a degree in this field, you are pursuing a greater understanding of anatomy, physiology, motor function, and overall wellness. You’ll also study subjects like biomechanics, pathology and nutrition. This course of education will prepare you for a wide range of career paths, from physical therapy, sports medicine, athletic training and coaching to physical education, occupational therapy, and rehabilitation. It could even be the pathway to a career in orthopedics or sports medicine, depending on how far you decide to advance your education.
