Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution should follow the MC General Studies Associate of Arts degree (or the AA in Health Fitness for Salisbury University). Check with each school of interest to determine which MC courses are required at the lower level – visit Kinesiology and Exercise Science major websites. Students who plan to major in Exercise Science in order to later apply to Physical Therapy schools should consult the requirements of several PT programs. In addition to the courses shown below, most PT programs require CHEM 131 & 132 Prin. of Chem. I & II, and PHYS203 & 204 General Physics I & II. See MC’s Advising by Major – Pre-Physical Therapy Page for additional information. If undecided, choose common courses from several schools.
