The Exercise Science Transfer Pathway A.S. curriculum has been specifically designed so that you can complete your associate degree and transfer with junior-year status to a Minnesota State university to earn a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in a number of majors, including, exercise and sport science, kinesiology, physical education, or human performance.
As a student in this A.S. degree program, you’ll complete the Pathway Curriculum (20 credits) and the General Education Curriculum (40 credits) for a credit total of 60.
This A.S. degree is part of a Minnesota State system agreement and will articulate with all other system universities and some Twin Cities metro area private institutions. This associate degree program prepares you to transfer to a four-year program in exercise science or kinesiology while also giving you the ability to begin a career in the fitness industry.
