Upon graduating with your associate of arts degree, you can either enter the workforce immediately or go on to earn a bachelor's degree. Please note that your transcript will show that you've earned an Associate of Arts Degree, and your focus in Health and Human Performance will be reflected in the courses you've completed

- The University of Northern Colorado (UNC) - Bachelor's in Sport and Exercise Science, Human Performance concentration;
- Colorado State University (CSU) - Bachelor's in Health Promotion; or
- Regis University - Bachelor's in Exercise Science
If you plan to transfer to UNC, the Aims2UNC transition program can help you get an affordable start on earning your four-year degree with support every step of the way while enjoying perks from both schools.
