Two-Year Associate of Arts, Oregon Transfer Degree
The Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree prepares students to transfer to an Oregon university with the guarantee that the student has met all of the lower-division general education requirements for the Oregon universities. Upon acceptance at an Oregon university, the student is given “junior status” for registration purposes. The AAOT does not guarantee admissions into specific departments or programs and does not guarantee admission into the student’s Oregon university of choice.
Exercise Science connects science, medicine, and health to create a framework for understanding how the human body adapts to stresses, physical activity, and disease. Students will expand their understanding of the body, psyche, skill acquisition, and fitness, as well as the art and science of guiding others in health-related quests. A degree in exercise science can lead to work as a personal trainer, fitness consultant, athletic trainer, or strength and conditioning coach. However, a degree in exercise science also offers a strong foundation for pursuing advanced degrees in exercise-related fields.
