Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology: Concentration in Exercise and Movement Sciences – KIN Associate Degree for Transfer Roadmap

This is a sample pathway for students who transfer to San Francisco State University in the current Bulletin year with an AA-T in Kinesiology. At least 12 lower-division units in the major (KIN 250, BIOL 220, BIOL 212/BIOL 213, one activity unit) and all lower-division GE requirements have been satisfied. Additional units in the major may have been satisfied. Check with a major advisor about the most appropriate course sequence. Degree completion guaranteed in 60 units; see the Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) section for more information.

To Do at SF State:

Enough total units to reach 120 minimum for graduation; 40 units minimum at the upper-division level; to include the following:

University-Wide Requirements: 9-18 Units

  • ENG 214 or equivalent A4 course (0-3 units): If this requirement is not completed before transfer, it is not possible to finish this major in four semesters. Completion in 60 units is possible, but KIN 384GW cannot be taken until ENG 214 and MATH 124 or equivalents have been completed. Subsequent KIN courses cannot be taken until KIN 384GW is completed.
  • American Institutions (0-6 units): US History, US Government, California State and Local Government requirements if not taken before transfer. See grid above for advice about courses that fulfill both requirements if needed.
  • Upper-division GE, areas B, C and D (9 units) – see grid above for advice about courses that double-count in UD GE and American Institutions.
  • Students entering the major with the AA-T in Kinesiology are not required to fulfill SF State Studies and Complementary Studies requirements.

Kinesiology: Concentration in Exercise and Movement Sciences Major: 39-57 units

KIN 250, BIOL 220 or BIOL 328, BIOL 212/BIOL 213, one unit of activity met in transfer.

University Electives: Zero or More Units

Depends on course choices made at the community college, how transferred units are applied to the requirements above, and course choices at SF State. Some courses may meet more than one requirement, e.g. both in UD GE and the major.
