Anthropology A.A.-T Transfer Degree
Anthropology is a multidisciplinary holistic way to study all aspects of
humanity, from biological origins to ways of social behavior, past and present.
Anthropology presents to the student a world view that is personally enriching
as well as practical. Students who achieve an Associate in Arts in Anthropology
and a baccalaureate degree pursue the fields of anthropology, archaeology,
sociology, research, travel, and international trade and communication.
Graduate degrees allow one to assume positions as an anthropologist, archaeologist, instructor or professor, or positions in forensics, museums, international aid, or research.
Cabrillo offers options for degrees in Anthropology. The first option listed
below is the Associate in Arts in Anthropology for Transfer (A.A.-T in
Anthropology), which is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor's degree in Anthropology or a similar major at a CSU campus.
Students completing the Associate in Arts in Anthropology for Transfer are
guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or
major. This A.A.-T in Anthropology may not be the best option for students
intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to a university or college
that is not part of the CSU system.
See Associate Degree for Transfer information in the Cabrillo College
Catalog. The following is required for all A.A.-T or A.S.-T degrees:
• Completion of 60 CSU-transferable semester units.
• Minimum grade-point average (GPA) of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable
coursework. While a minimum of 2.0 is required for admission, some
majors may require a higher GPA.
• Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in the major with a letter
grade of "C" or better, or a "P" if the course is taken on a "Pass/No Pass"
basis.
• Certified completion of the California State University General EducationBreadth pattern (CSU GE Breadth) or the Intersegmental General
Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern.
