Associate of Arts - Anthropology

Anthropology is the study of human and non-human primates biologically, socially and culturally across time and place. A field that touches on all others, anthropology has four major areas of study: archaeology, biological anthropology, cultural anthropology and linguistic anthropology. Through investigations in each of these areas, and their influence on each other, students learn to holistically understand human cultural and physical diversity and their continuous adaption to the environment.
