Career Options/Outlook:

A degree in Anthropology provides students with a flexible skill set that translates to many careers.  Career opportunities require more than an associate degree.

For more information about this discipline visit the Anthropology page of the college website.

Note to students:

Students can start with any ANTH course.  This pathway is merely a suggested sequence.

Transfer notes:

Please meet with a counselor for specific transfer course evaluation or transferring to a specific 4-year institution. For more information, please see the CSU Transfer Requirements. 

General Education (GE):

Non-specified GE courses identified by CRC Area, CSU Area or IGETC Area without pre- or co-requisite can be taken at any semester.

Honors option:

The CRC Honors Program is designed specifically for academically accomplished students and for students with the potential for high achievement. Students who complete 15 units or more in honors-designated courses will earn special recognition as an Honors Scholar, a distinction that may entitle the student to guaranteed transfer and scholarship opportunities at select transfer colleges and universities.

About this map:

This program map represents one possible pathway to complete the program. Please see a counselor to create an education plan that is customized to meet your needs. This map is not a guarantee of course

availability or financial aid applicability.

Zero Textbook Costs (ZTC):

The Zero Textbook Costs designation and logo are added to any course that provides free access to all required instructional materials. These are typically shared with students through Canvas. Courses that are designated as ZTC may still require students to purchase supplemental materials such as lab coats, a calculator, art supplies, etc. See full definitions and searching tips on the Zero Textbook Costs page of the college website.
