ADT in Anthropology
The goal of the Anthropology program at Citrus College is to prepare students to develop a fundamental understanding of human behavior from biological, historical, cultural, and social perspectives. Anthropology analyzes the place of humans in the natural world and explores cultural assumptions across the globe.
The Associate in Arts in Anthropology for Transfer degree (AA-T) prepares students to continue their education at a four-year institution leading to a baccalaureate degree. Successful completion of the transfer degree in Anthropology guarantees the student acceptance to a local California State University. Students who complete this degree may also seek to continue their education at the University of California or other baccalaureate degree granting institutions, although admission is not guaranteed.
Students receiving this transfer degree must meet the following requirements:
- Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
- The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education - Breadth Requirements.
- A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
- Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
