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. 

A.A.-Transfer Degree Level Student Learning Outcomes

Students completing the Anthropology A.A.-Transfer Degree will:

  1. Demonstrate analytical and critical analysis skills using college-level vocabulary and writing skills.
  2. Apply anthropological theories and concepts to human culture.
  3. Identify and analyze examples of ethnocentrism, xenocentrism and cultural relativity.
  4. Analyze concepts such as language, culture, human use of material items, and human biological construct.

  1. Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
    1. The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education - Breadth Requirements.
