Anthropology Associate in Arts for Transfer
|
|
Return to: Degrees, Certificates, and Awards by Program
The curriculum in the Anthropology program is designed to provide the transfer student the opportunity to achieve an Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) degree in anthropology by providing the necessary breadth in the field and an introduction to the methods used. Students who complete the AA-T degree in Anthropology receive priority admission to the California State University system, though admission to a specific campus is not guaranteed. While a baccalaureate or higher degree, which can be achieved through transfer, is recommended for those considering professional careers in anthropology, an associate degree may support attempts to gain entry-level employment as lab technicians, research assistants, museum workers, cultural resource conservators, and other related positions.
