In anthropology, students develop a critical analysis necessary to become world citizens, through studying a multitude of interrelated elements of what makes humans unique among all creatures on Earth. Unlike other social sciences, which often focus narrowly on only a few aspects of humanity, anthropology offers an integrated study of human culture, society, biology, and communication, from the time of our earliest evolution until the present moment.

Where did we come from? What makes us human? How are we similar to and different from other people? Where do we go from here? If these questions inspire you, you may enjoy an anthropology career. Anthropology is the holistic study of humanity. We draw from biology, social sciences, and humanities to better understand our experiences as humans. Anthropology graduates pursue careers in academia, government, cultural and natural resources, medicine, public health, forensics, museums, tourism, and business.

Anthropology is the study of humans in the broadest sense: biological, socio-cultural, and historical. The Department of Anthropology provides students with a rich curriculum, with courses focusing on the development of humanity through the ages: our cultures, our behaviors, our belief systems and our origin. The study of Anthropology is the study of humanity—all aspects of humanity—and as such covers a hugely diverse range of seemingly disparate topics. Anthropologists look not just at one particular society, culture or religion, but examine how seemingly divergent cultures, pasts, individuals and social trends are related to one another and to all of humankind.

The study of Anthropology is the study of humanity—all aspects of humanity—and as such covers a hugely diverse range of seemingly disparate topics. Anthropologists look not just at one particular society, culture or religion, but rather they look at how seemingly divergent cultures, pasts, individuals and social trends are related to one another and to all of humankind as a whole. With this knowledge, anthropologists believe it is possible for us to gain a better understanding of who we are, where we have come from, and where we may be heading in the future. The Associate in Arts for Transfer degree in Anthropology provides students with the foundational knowledge necessary to make a successful transition into a Baccalaureate Degree at any of the CSU campuses. The Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) is a special degree offered at California Community Colleges. Students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to a campus within the California State University (CSU) system in a similar major, although not necessarily to a specific campus. Students who complete an AA-T or AS-T are given priority consideration when applying to a particular program that is similar to the student’s community college major and will be given a special GPA advantage when applying to CSU impacted campuses or majors. Students who are planning to pursue an AA-T or AS-T are strongly advised to meet with a counselor for additional information about this transfer program.

The goal of the Anthropology Program at Santa Barbara City College is to prepare students to use Anthropology’s wide range of studies, research methods, and applications to gain a greater understanding of people in general and the world as a whole. The program aims to educate students as to the various forms that Anthropology can take and how some of the more specialized technological fields (such as Archaeology and Physical Anthropology) apply their research methods. Furthermore, Anthropology aims to give students the tools necessary to examine and evaluate world cultures, to understand the origin of human beings, and enable them to competently and confidently effect change in the society and culture of which they are a part.

Anthropology is the study of what makes us human. Some anthropologists study the past through archaeology, to see how human groups lived hundreds or thousands of years ago to the recent times. Others gain an understanding of different societies around the world by living among them and immersing themselves in their daily lives. Still others focus on human biology, evolution, and forensics. The Anthropology Department offers a wide range of online and in-class lecture-based and hands-on courses for general interest or for working toward an eventual major.
