Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology: Concentration in Exercise and Movement Sciences – KIN Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) 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 16 lower-division units in the major (KIN 250, BIOL 100, BIOL 101, BIOL 220, BIOL 212, BIOL 213, and 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; 30 units minimum at the upper-division level; to include the following:
University-Wide Requirements: 9-15 Units
- American Institutions (0-6 units): US History, US Government, CA Government. If not met in transfer, see the next bullet.
- Upper-division GE (9 units): Courses may satisfy the US History or US/CA Government requirements, and UD-C or UD-D at the same time, if approved for multiple areas.
- 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: 55 units
KIN 250, BIOL 220 or BIOL 328, BIOL 212, BIOL 213, and one unit of activity met in transfer.
- Prerequisites (13 units): BIOL 100 and BIOL 101 or BIOL 230; CHEM 101 and CHEM 102 or CHEM 115; and a Quantitiative Reasoning course (see footnote 1) if not completed before transfer *Grade of ‘C’ or better*
- Core: (16 units): KIN 384GW, KIN 457, KIN 480, KIN 482, and KIN 486
- Concentration (14 units:) PHYS 101/PHYS 102 or PHYS 111/PHYS 112 if not completed before transfer; KIN 404, KIN 483, KIN 485, KIN 696 or KIN 697-KIN 698 or KIN 699
- Electives (12 units)
University Electives: 2 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.

Electives (12 Units)
Students must take 12 units of electives. Groupings of electives in three focus areas are provided below, but other groups are possible and students should meet with an advisor to select electives that align with their career path. The movement science area focuses on the factors that influence the neuromotor control, learning, relearning, and development of motor skills and analysis. The social science area focuses on the socio-cultural and psychological factors that serve to constrain and define human movement, fitness, and physical activity. The exercise science area focuses on the physiology of exercise, fitness and health, exercise prescription, and fitness programming in healthy adults, youth, elderly, and clinical populations.
