Students who earn this associate degree will fulfill the lower-division prerequisites for an anthropology major, a specialized track within anthropology, or a comparable degree at participating California State University (CSU) institutions. After transferring to a CSU campus, students will need to complete a maximum of 60 additional units to earn their bachelor's degree, though some campuses may require extra lower-division coursework. Note that this degree might not meet transfer requirements for non-participating CSU campuses or institutions outside the CSU system. MiraCosta students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to explore the most streamlined transfer options for anthropology majors and to identify participating CSU campuses. Graduates of this program will be able to: Appreciate global human biological and cultural diversity. Assess how biological and cultural factors have influenced human evolution. Analyze and compare research methodologies used in anthropology's various subfields.
