What can I do with this course of study?This program lays the foundation for a career in anthropology and archaeology, and many other fields. You’ll gain a broader, holistic understanding of the human experience, including behavior, social and language development, cultures and institutions, which will enhance virtually any profession. You’ll be prepared to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree in anthropology or in a variety of majors such as business, law or international studies. Anthropologists work in a variety of settings, from medical fields where compassionate care is enhanced by understanding the diversity of cultures in the world today; to the tech industry, such as Google and Intel, to build an understanding of how technology can benefit our lives; and as cultural resource managers whose goal is to preserve past material culture; as well as many other fields. | What's special about the Anthropology course of study?You’ll gain an understanding of human development, experience, histories, and cultures from around the world, with the benefit of small classes and individualized attention.
