Associate Degrees for Transfer

A.A.-T. in Anthropology

Anthropology is the holistic study of the human species. Anthropologists study culture, linguistics, archaeology, and human evolution throughout history. The field of Anthropology is comprised of four main subfields: Cultural Anthropology, Biological Anthropology, Archaeology, and Linguistics. With a focus on biological and cultural adaptations around the world, a degree in Anthropology provides the student with skills in critical analysis, basic application of the scientific method, and cross-cultural understanding. The Associate of Arts in Anthropology for Transfer Degree (AA-T) is designed for students to receive priority admission with junior status to the California State University system.

Students planning to transfer to a CSU with a major in Anthropology should consult the lower division requirements specific to the university they plan to attend. The Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT) student completion requirements are (SB 1440):

1. Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:

a) The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education-Breadth Requirements (CSU GE-Breadth).

b) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.

2. Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0.

ADTs require that students must earn a “C” or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. A “P” (Pass) grade is also an acceptable grade for courses in the major if the course is taken on a Pass/No Pass basis.

Career Information

Anthropologists with baccalaureate or graduate degrees might obtain employment as a museum manager, linguist, primatologist or zoo curator, archaeological excavator or project director for private, county, state or federal bureaus, cultural consultant for government, business, and educational institutions, forensic specialist in police departments and crime lab, educator, consultant or analyst for local, national or global non-profit organizations.

Associate Degrees

A.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies: Social and Behavioral Sciences

The Interdisciplinary Studies degree is designed for students who wish a broad knowledge of arts and sciences plus additional coursework in a prescribed “Area of Emphasis”. This program is a good choice for students planning on transferring to the California State University or University of California. The student will be able to satisfy general education requirements, plus focus on transferable coursework that relates to a specific major and/or individual interest. This degree will have an "Area of Emphasis" in Social and Behavioral Sciences. These courses emphasize the perspectives, concepts, theories, and methodologies of the disciplines typically found in the vast variety of disciplines that comprise study in the Social and Behavioral Sciences. Students will study about themselves and others as members of a larger society. Topics and discussions to stimulate critical thinking about ways people have acted in response to their societies will allow students to evaluate how societies and social subgroups operate. (Possible majors at a four-year institution include, but are not limited to: history, sociology, social studies, psychology, and family consumer science.)

It is highly recommended that students consult a counselor to determine the classes within each area that will best prepare them for their intended transfer major.

Certificate of Achievement

Heritage Interpretation Certificate

Heritage Interpretation involves conveying meaningful information about historical, cultural, and natural events or sites to a broad audience. One may have encountered interpretive prose in historical site markers, displays at parks or museums, and written park visitor guides. Park rangers, docents, and tour guides use oral and written interpretation skills. More recently, interpretive skills have been expanding into social media. Students completing this proposed certificate of recognition will be prepared to take an exam to be a Certified Interpretive Guide (C.I.G) from the National Association for Interpretation. Courses in this certificate may also be applied towards associate degree and/or transfer requirements.
