Understand Humanity to Evolve It

Whether you want to study real human skeletons or learn about human identity through the lens of common connections, an Associate in Arts in Anthropology introduces you to all of these possibilities.

Anthropology is the study of human similarities and differences in all times and in all places. It involves the study of biology, culture and society, language and the influence of the environment.

You learn to observe, question and apply your learnings in forensics, archeology and even the tech industry to expand our understanding of the world.

What can you do with an A.A. in Anthropology?

  • academia and research
  • historic preservation and museums
  • international development and aid
