Associate of Arts
Faculty Advisor: Sharon Brunner · Phone: 410-386-8142 · Email: sbrunner@carrollcc.edu
This transfer pattern of courses provides students with the knowledge, skills and abilities to successfully design safe and effective exercise programs for apparently healthy and low to moderate risk individuals. Students who complete the recommended pattern of courses will be prepared to transfer to a four-year institution’s Exercise Science or Kinesiology program. Because institutions vary in their requirements, students who know where they are transferring should check that institution’s specific requirements for Exercise Science or related major programs of study.
Upon completion of the Associate of Arts, Arts and Sciences - Exercise Science transfer track with the recommended courses indicated below, students will be eligible to sit for the American College of Sports Medicine’s Certified Personal Trainer examination.
