人类学 is the study of humans in the present and the past. Within the field of anthropology, there are four specialties:
- cultural anthropologists intensively and comparatively study human cultures throughout the world
- physical or biological anthropologists who study the biological complexities of human development and structure
- linguistic anthropologists that study the development, structure, and social uses for human communication
- 考古学家 who excavate the remains of past societies
The interdisciplinary nature of anthropology crosses into related fields of sociology, biology, economics, art, biology, chemistry, political science, geology, psychology 和历史.
Our anthropology discipline is built around the Associate in Arts (A.A.)学位. This degree gives you a solid two-year background in general education courses that can transfer to a four-year 机构. It also allows 17 hours of elective courses to let you hone in on your specific interests.
人类学 classes can be taken as a social/behavioral science and as diversity courses as part of a degree plan.
