At Palomar, we take pride in academically preparing our students for transfer opportunities into Kinesiology Baccalaureate programs so they have more career opportunities. We encourage students to pursue an Associate of Arts for Transfer (AA-T) in Kinesiology. Earning an AA-T in Kinesiology satisfies lower division general education as well as the prep for major required for a seamless transfer into a 4-year university.
