Anthropology

The Associate in Arts in Anthropology for Transfer Degree is designed to prepare the student for transfer to institutions of higher education and specifically intended to satisfy the lower division requirements for the baccalaureate degree in Anthropology at a California State University. It will also provide the student with a sufficient academic basis from which to pursue a career in the social science professions. The student will be afforded the opportunity to study the nature of the human diversity from a genetic, archeological, linguistic and cultural basis. The breadth of Anthropology will be examined to include the historical and contemporary theory and research as the basis from which to gain an in-depth awareness and understanding of humans and the world in which we live.

• Apply the holistic and comparative perspective inherent in anthropological knowledge to real world problems
• Use information resources and technology to research current issues in all four subfields of anthropology.
