Anthropology Transfer Pathway (AA)

Anthropology is a multidisciplinary, scientific study of the human condition. Through the traditional four fields of cultural anthropology, archaeology, biological/physical anthropology, and linguistics, anthropologists examine every aspect of humanity in a holistic, comparative, and evolutionary way. Upon completion of the Anthropology Transfer Pathway from Cowley College, students will have a solid foundation for a bachelor’s degree from a 4-year college or university. Depending on specialization, anthropology majors can pursue careers in human resources, museums, government, military, advocacy, and non-profit sectors, as well as research and teaching.
