The only program of its kind in Colorado, this liberal arts degree with an emphasis in Health and Human Performance works a bit differently than other degrees at Aims.

Upon graduating, you can either enter the workforce immediately or go on to earn a bachelor's degree.

- 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.
