The AA-T in Anthropology for Transfer guides students in their quest to understand what it means to be human, and how humans make meaning in life. Students take courses from three subfields: archaeology, cultural anthropology and physical anthropology, and learn about human cultures and civilizations, past and present. The AA-T in Anthropology for Transfer is designed specifically to prepare students for transfer to a California State University, where a baccalaureate degree may be earned in Anthropology or a closely related field.

The following is required for an Associate Degree for Transfer:

1. Minimum of 60 semester or 90 quarter CSU-transferable units.
2. Minimum grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework.
3. Minimum of 18 semester or 27 quarter units in the major.
4. A grade of “C” or higher or “Pass” in all courses required for the major.
5. Certified completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC) pattern; see Degree Requirements and Transfer Information section for more information.
