Major Guide for Transfer Advising

Transfer Pathways for this Major

View the JMU B.S. Kinesiology Concentration in PHETE Transfer Guide based on the A.S. in Kinesiology or the B.S. Kinesiology Concentration in PHETE Transfer Guide based on the A.S. in Education, which show the courses to take at your community college for the best 2-year plus 2-year pathway to your major at JMU.

Your community college (or Richard Bland College) may not offer the specific associate degree shown on the transfer guide. In many cases, you may still be able to complete requirements for your intended major at JMU and qualify for the general education waiver through a different associate degree. We encourage you to review the following guidance for equivalent courses in this major and make an appointment with a JMU Next transfer advisor.

  • Not sure if the degree you're pursuing is transferable? Most Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.) and Associate of Arts & Sciences (A.A.&S.) degrees are transferable. Learn about transferable degrees.
  • JMU Next Transfer Advisors are available to assist you in selecting courses and planning to transfer to JMU.

You should choose courses at your current school that satisfy specific general education AND major requirements at JMU.
