General Studies: Movement Science Option, Associate in Arts
Courses and Requirements
The associate in general studies degree option in Movement Science is designed for students who want to begin their career preparation in a physical activity profession. Students will study the discipline and sub-disciplines of physical activity and explore the various related career options. The curriculum provides a well-rounded educational foundation that maximizes transfer opportunities to other physical activity and sport related degree programs at the baccalaureate level. A minimum of 62 credit hours is required for graduation.
Starting in the fall of 2014, any student enrolled in an associate degree program who is new to NECC and has no academic history at the college, must take at least one course designated as intensive in each of NECC’s six core academic skills in order to graduate. In most cases, the program’s core required courses include these intensive courses. Plan to see an advisor for more complete information about this graduation requirement.
