The AA-T in Kinesiology is intended for students who plan to complete a baccalaureate degree in Kinesiology or a related field of study at a California State University (CSU). Students who complete this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Students transferring to a CSU campus that accepts the AA-T in Kinesiology will be required to complete no more than 60 semester units after transfer to earn a baccalaureate degree.

The Kinesiology Certificate of Achievement Level 2 provides students the theory necessary to be effective in the industry of Kinesiology. Students in this program will learn scientific principles of exercise and physical conditioning, techniques for the measurement of human performance, and methods for establishing healthy national patterns. This can help meet the demand for qualified and knowledgeable people in the modern workplace that currently exists in the greater Silicon Valley.
