Associate of Arts - Anthropology - Transfer to a California State University

Berkeley City College's Associate in Arts in Anthropology for Transfer program is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution as anthropology majors. In this program, the students gain exposure to the four subfields of anthropology (biological, archaeological, cultural, and linguistic anthropology).

Students who successfully complete this transfer program in Anthropology earn specific guarantees for transfer to the California State University (CSU) system: admission to a CSU with junior status and priority admission to a CSU campus and to a program or major in anthropology or a similar major. Students transferring to a CSU campus will be required to complete no more than 60 units after transfer to earn a bachelor’s degree.

Students who complete the program will be able to: • Explain core concepts of anthropology including biological, archaeological, and social cultural subfields. • Demonstrate skills in the scientific methods used by contemporary anthropologists. • Describe an appreciation for the biological, historical, and cultural diversity of the world.
