Anthropology
The Blinn College District Associate of Arts in Anthropology familiarizes you with the differing theories of human origins and biocultural adaptations. The program provides hands-on experience in laboratory techniques and experimentation that usually are reserved only for graduate students and graduates can transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor’s degree in anthropology.
Certain anthropology courses meet the requirements for International and Cultural Diversity credits at Texas A&M University.
Degree and Certificate Plans
The Associate of Arts degree in Anthropology is intended to match, within the constraints of the Core Curriculum, the course of study for the first two years of a typical anthropology program at a four-year college or university. It also provides the flexibility for students desiring only an associate degree to specialize the program to individual interests. Click below to see the degree plans:
