2202.00Anthropology is the comprehensive study of humans, our ancestors, and our non-human primate relatives. The field explores what it means to be human, from prehistoric times to the present. Anthropologists investigate contemporary human social behaviors (cultural anthropology), the origins and nature of languages (linguistic anthropology), human evolution, variation and adaptation (biological anthropology), and the ancient life ways and cultural development of past human populations (archaeology). This program prepares students to use the discipline’s holistic perspective, research methods, and general knowledge in order to find reasonable solutions to human dilemmas.
The Associate in Arts in Anthropology for Transfer Degree provides courses that enable students to complete lower division prerequisites and general education requirements for transfer to the CSU within the anthropology major and the completion of a baccalaureate degree, with guaranteed admission to a CSU to a similar major with junior standing, and the ability to complete their remaining requirements within 60 semester or 90 quarter units.
