Our Associate of Arts in Sports Studies prepares students to pursue a major in athletic training, wellness, kinesiology, and other related sports medicine fields at a four-year institution. This degree meets the requirements for the first two years of a bachelor’s program at Arizona’s public, and many other, universities. You can transfer with junior status after building a strong academic foundation in small, stimulating classes taught by quality faculty and offered at an extremely affordable tuition cost. You are encouraged to work closely with an academic adviser and consult the official transfer guide to ensure you are on the correct course to maximize course transferability.
