Thus, anthropology is considered to be the most holistic of the social sciences. The goal of anthropology is to answer the question, “What is humankind?” from a biological, prehistoric, and behavioral perspective. The integrative approach to the discipline links anthropology with the life and social sciences and has strong ties with disciplines ranging from biology and psychology to political science, history, and the arts, providing a humanistic perspective.\n\nThis Associate Degree for Transfer is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major.\n\nTo obtain this Associate Degree for Transfer, students must complete:\n\n- A minimum of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.\n- A minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework.
