Anthropology

The anthropology degree provides students with an introduction to the fields of anthropology - cultural, physical/biological, archaelogy and anthropological linguistics - with emphasis on the applications of the discipline to contexts of everyday life.

Anthropology is a very relevant degree as it offers students a perspective for understanding humans from the past and the present. Many employers are interested in the critical thinking and analytical research skills offered by anthropology. The anthropology degree offers students major preparation for transfer to a four-year institution.

Upon successful completion of the anthropology A.A. degree, students will:
• Have an understanding of the four fields of anthropology;
• Understand, appreciate and apply scientific methods of anthropological research and analysis;
• Recognize the significance of the comparative, evolutionary and relativistic approaches in anthropology;
• Develop an appreciation of the diversity of the human species;
• Understand and appreciate cultural diversity and human variation;
and
• Apply anthropological methods of critical thinking, reflexivity and cultural awareness in everyday life.
