# **ANTHROPOLOGY
Associate in Arts for Transfer**

### Description

The **Associate in Arts in Anthropology for Transfer (AA-T) Degree** is intended to meet the lower division requirements for Anthropology majors (or similar majors) at a CSU campus that offers an Anthropology baccalaureate degree. This degree focuses on the critical analysis of human beings from both a cultural and biological perspective. The diversity of humans is investigated through a time cross-culturally in terms of their behavioral adaptations as well as using the framework of evolution to understand biological adaptation. Students will gain a basic understanding of the various fields and sub-fields of the discipline of Anthropology through their elective choices.

**In addition to the courses listed below, the following requirements must be met for completion of the AA-T Degree in Anthropology:**

1\. Completion of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.
2\. Achievement of a minimum GPA of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. (Some majors may require a higher GPA. Students should consult with a counselor for more information.)
3\. Completion of the major with a grade of “C” or better in each course or a "P" if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and the "P" is equal to a "C" or better.
4. Completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). The California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.

Students are advised to check with the Counseling Department or Transfer Center for courses accepted into the Anthropology major at the CSU where they seek transfer.
