Anthropology is the study of all of humanity across time and location, from our beginnings 250,000 years ago to the present. Our closest living relatives are also part of our study (chimpanzees, gorillas, & orangutans); as well as other extinct human species such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus. We are interested in studying all aspects of humanity, including topics such as race and ethnicity, religion and witchcraft, sex and gender, to give some examples. An AA-T Degree in Anthropology studies humans by working with other disciplines like Psychology, Sociology, Biology and many more, in order to have a complete picture of humanity as a whole. Emphasis is placed on biological and cultural diversity, on the interaction between humans and their physical and social environment, and on the evolution of human biological and cultural adaptations. The core courses introduce students to four of the subfields of Anthropology: Biological Anthropology, Social Cultural Anthropology, Archaeology and Linguistic Anthropology. Students can then focus on their area/s of interest by taking additional courses. A two-year associate degree for transfer provides students with an introduction to the discipline's theories and practices. Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) Degree for students who wish to transfer as Anthropology majors to a California State University.

Due to the fact that Anthropology studies all of humanity, Anthropologists can seek careers in fields related to humanity. Depending on their focus and schooling, Anthropologists can persuade jobs in areas such as the Medical Field (Doctor), Law (Lawyer), Education (Teacher), Law Enforcement (Police), Politics, Business, Research, Administration, Forensic, Archaeologist, Art, Music, Immigration, Social Justice, and much more. In Anthropology, humanity is your oyster.
