PROGRAM OF STUDY
Associate in Arts in Anthropology for Transfer
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 Education-Breadth pattern (CSU GE Breadth) or the
Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) pattern.
