Welcome to the Associate of Arts Degree (Anthropology)

Anthropology is the study of humans. The discipline breaks down into four subfields. Cultural Anthropology deals with the social lives of people around the world, including our own society: economic systems, legal practices, kinship, religions, medical practices, folklore, arts and political systems, as well as the interrelationship of these systems in environmental adaptation and social change. Archaeology focuses on the material remains of human societies from the remote and recent past with emphasis on reconstructing and understanding past modes of human cultural adaptation and change. Physical Anthropology describes and compares world human biology with a focus on humans and their primate order, and seeks to document and understand the interplay of culture and biology in the course of human evolution and adaptation. Anthropological Linguistics deals with varied aspects of human language and the characteristics of nonhuman communication systems, to achieve an understanding of past and present human language systems and their significance in social life.
