The mission of the Kinesiology/Dance Department is to promote the goal of health and total well-being to its students through the dissemination of knowledge primarily through one-hour activity courses related to physical fitness, lifetime sports, and dance. Additionally, the department provides a variety of theory courses and club activities for Kinesiology and Dance majors, and provides services to the community.  

A degree from many senior colleges may require Kinesiology/Dance activity courses for graduation. A student should confer with the senior college of their choice about graduation requirements.

Effective Fall 2012, majors in Kinesiology or Dance will be able to earn an Associate’s Degree in Kinesiology or an Associate’s Degree in Dance.   Degree plans are currently available and interested students should contact an advisor in the Kinesiology and Dance Department.  Transfer plans in Kinesiology with local universities are available as well.
Any two hours of Kinesiology or Dance courses are required for an Associate’s degree awarded at San Antonio College.  Exceptions are for students with more than two years of military service and those certified by a  physician as physically unable to participate.

•   Activity courses in relation to physical fitness, lifetime sports, and dance.
•   Activity courses to meet the requirements for an Associate’s Degree.
