Associate in Arts, Emphasis in Anthropology

The Associate in Arts (AA), Emphasis in Anthropology degree provides the first two years of a four-year curriculum for students who wish to receive an education in the broad field of anthropology - an examination of the human experience. Coursework in this program surveys both cultural and biological aspects of what it means to be human, and students will develop critical thinking skills through the analysis of real-world anthropological case studies. As such, students receive a holistic training in their worldview that is valued highly by employers in many fields, including health and human services, media, businesses, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and government agencies.

Develop and apply critical thinking and observation skills through the analysis of real world anthropological case studies using the scientific method and multiple perspectives.
Demonstrate the ability to obtain, critically read, analyze, summarize and critique anthropological research through use of appropriate source material.
Utilize the scientific method to investigate the foundations of human biological variation through a critical evaluation of both ancient and recent human biological adaptation and evolution.
Evaluate, through archaeological research, the processes of human cultural evolution, such as the origins of: language, agriculture, settled village and urban life, writing, religion, social inequalities and state formation.
Apply anthropological ethical principles through the critical analysis of real world case studies.
