Health and Physical Education Transfer to Southern Oregon University
2019-20 Health and Physical Education Transfer to SOU (PDF)
Associate of Science Degree
Courses for this Program
About the Program
The Associate of Science (AS) degree is based on a signed articulation agreement with Southern
Oregon University (SOU). The program is designed for students transferring to SOU’s bachelor’s
degree program in health and physical education. Students must work closely with advisers in their
areas of interest to ensure electives are appropriate.
The curriculum allows for 48 core credits within the major area. By completing all appropriate
credits (including electives), students will fulfill required lower division coursework for transfer
to SOU. Students should be aware, however, that if they transfer before completing this degree,
their courses will be evaluated individually toward the transfer requirements of the college of their
choice.
Program Learning Outcomes

In addition, students may also be required to enroll in classes that would increase their employability and success.
