The AA-T in Anthropology for Transfer guides students in their quest to understand what it means to be human, and how humans make meaning in life. Students take courses from three subfields: archaeology, cultural anthropology and physical anthropology, and learn about human cultures and civilizations, past and present. The AA-T in Anthropology for Transfer is designed specifically to prepare students for transfer to a California State University, where a baccalaureate degree may be earned in Anthropology or a closely related field.

The following is required for the AA-T in Anthropology for Transfer degree:

1. 60 semester or 90 quarter CSU-transferable units;
2. Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education-Breadth Requirements;
