Where does my path start?

Once you complete your Shoreline degree, you can transfer to a four-year school to earn a baccalaureate in Exercise Science or Kinesiology program.

With a strong math and science foundation, this major is also excellent preparation for graduate studies in the allied health professions, Psychology, Business, Law or Education. Additional courses may be required for admission into graduate level professional programs.
