Overview.

The Associate in Arts in Anthropology for Transfer degree will enable students to develop a strong foundation in research methods, statistics and both cultural and biological aspects of behavior and will offer a wide variety of elective courses in anthropology and other related fields for students to develop a broad knowledge base. The Anthropology Program educates students to understand and value the cultural and social diversity on a global scale, both past and present. In addition, students will develop strong critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills that will prepare them for the requirements of upper division course work.
