Anthropology is the study of people throughout the world, their evolutionary history, how they behave, adapt to different environments, communicate and socialise with one another. The study of anthropology is concerned both with the biological features that make us human (such as physiology, genetic makeup, nutritional history and evolution) and with social aspects (such as language, culture, politics, family and religion).  Students pursuing a degree in Anthropology should follow a program leading to the Associate in Arts Degree, AA-DTA  and then transfer to a college or university that offers Anthropology as a major.

See Articulation Agreements for more details about the colleges who accept this degree.

Students are responsible for knowing transfer requirements and policies, as well as specific course choices and GPA requirements, are urged to consult the catalog of the institution for which they plan to transfer.

Sample Schedule

This sample schedule is provided as a guide for a full-time student with placement into ENGL& 101 and appropriate math. Not every course is offered every quarter: careful planning is required to complete the degree in the fewest number of quarters. Students should meet with a faculty advisor throughout their course of study.  An customized curriculum map can be accessed in Navigate.
