I took a class that is part of the exercise sports science major, yet here is the course and description.

ESS 310, Social Issues in Personal and Community Health, 4 credits:
Issues related to personal and community health. Areas of concern will be mental health, drug abuse, prejudice, personal safety, fitness, disease, environmental health, nutrition, and selected topics in human sexuality. Offered every semester.

So can I call it a behavioral science course or does the fact that it has ESS as a subject make it a "other science"
Behavioral science classes include community and personal health which is the exact content of this class.

Is this something I should call and ask AACOMAS about?
Thanks!

Nope, KIN/ESS/KHS do not count. I tried. Plus, you and I both know kinesiology is a joke
 
What do you want it to count as? I don't see it counting as Behaviorual Science, it will be counted as Other Science.

If you did well in it, at least then it will help your science GPA as Other Science is included.

If you wanted to use it to meet the Behavioural science pre-requisite of some schools, then you're out of luck from my understanding. Maybe you could ask the school specifically if they will allow it to count, if that is the reason for your asking.
